The Female Forum: Creativity

Skywriters will be attending The Female Forum event at Central Library!

The Liverpool Literacy Cycle began in 2020 with the Year of Reading followed by 2021 Year of Writing and currently 2022 Year of Spoken Word.

The LYOSW aims to engage local communities during 2022 with the creative processes involved in performance, acting, storytelling, song writing, speaking confidently, debating, serious conversation and light radio chat. Activities throughout the year have ranged from speaking and performance opportunities, workshops, expert and peer to peer advice, the development of oracy skills, open mic poetry, regular events and annual festivals. We currently have a network of over 180 partners sharing information and generating ideas to improve literacy in the city.

The Female Forum was launched on International Women’s Day as a discussion circle to provide a neutral safe space to give women an opportunity to talk and explore broad themes and the impact of those themes on their sense of self and wellbeing. The second forum was held in June on the theme of POWER and was uplifting for all participants.

The third Female Forum at 5.30pm on Tuesday 6th September will have the theme: Creativity. The format of the forum is a circle of conversation for approximately 12 to 15 women with an audience of listeners. The conversation will start at 6pm. We are hoping to record the conversation so it can be made available as a podcast at a later date.
