At the workshop we will be looking at Marcus Rashford and his role as an activist.  Each participant will produce their own piece of creative writing.

The workshop is a taster session to introduce a series of workshops which will run weekly from Jan 2021. Over the course of 6 weeks, participants will be looking at current and historical Black British authors, scientists, activists, composers, sportspeople, and members of the armed forces.
