I am based in Birmingham, UK, and can deliver workshops to the West Midlands and beyond.

Creative translation workshops

"Engaging in creative translation supports pupils to develop an ability to see the world through different perspectives, enhancing their understanding of the world and society as diverse and preparing them for life in modern Britain." (Stephen Spender Trust)

I have been trained by the Stephen Spender Trust to use a model that allows participants with little or no knowledge of the chosen language to engage fully in creative translation activities. I can deliver creative translation workshops in primary schools, secondary schools and festivals, lasting from one hour to one day.

Art workshops

Workshops that incorporate art can help to facilitate deep discussions and support participants to explore complex topics and value creativity's role in wellbeing.

As a graduate of the Print and Matter art programme, I have experience working with children and adults, sometimes in the same session. I can deliver creative translation workshops in primary schools, secondary schools and festivals, lasting from one hour to one day.

Past workshops include:

• ​"Translating Arabic poetry and creating multilingual poems", secondary school groups, Stephen Spender Trust
• "Guess the languages and create your own multilingual book titles", primary school groups, Word Play Festival 2022 and 2023, Birmingham
• "The Wor(l)d on the Street collage workshop", mixed groups of adults and children, Exchange Festival, 2023, Birmingham
