親愛的Teenager寫作者們,

我想要和你介紹三明治和故事星球Storyland合作的一個全新工作坊類別 ——面向全球的青少年英文創(chuàng)意寫作 （Global Young Adult Creative Writing)。創(chuàng)意寫作是一個全球性的概念，它指的是創(chuàng)造性寫作，不是學術(shù)寫作，也不是廣告、文案等應(yīng)用型寫作。它包含了小說、非虛構(gòu)、劇本、詩歌等基礎(chǔ)的文學創(chuàng)作類型，并不斷和影視、游戲、動漫、舞臺等其他藝術(shù)表現(xiàn)形式碰撞出新的合作。

好的創(chuàng)意寫作都是從發(fā)掘自己的內(nèi)心開始的。只有擁有敏銳的感受力，敢于直面自己內(nèi)心的小情緒，同時愿意通過寫作把它們變成可以和外部世界情感流動的藝術(shù)形式。最近我看到一個孩子，在申請美國大學的文書中，用創(chuàng)意寫作的方式描述了他對爺爺?shù)乃寄睿騽恿苏猩伲晒Ρ讳浫　?strong>我們不是看其功利的效果，而是看到，通過創(chuàng)意寫作方式寫出的文字，最能跨越地域國界，引起人類廣泛的共鳴。

自1936年美國愛荷華大學創(chuàng)立Iowa Writers' Workshop (作家工作坊）以來，創(chuàng)意寫作已經(jīng)成為全球大批作家成長的教育體系。英國第一個創(chuàng)意寫作學位在東安格利亞大學（UEA）于1970年創(chuàng)辦，培養(yǎng)出像石黑一雄這樣的諾貝爾文學獎得主。去年，我在UEA學習英文非虛構(gòu)創(chuàng)意寫作（Creative Nonfiction Writing)。在學習期間，我被workshop中同學老師的相互點評、指導所感染，想將這一英語寫作教育體系引入到中國。之前兩個月，我已經(jīng)邀請我的UEA同學在我所創(chuàng)辦的寫作平臺"三明治"開出了成人的創(chuàng)意寫作工作坊，效果良好。

這一次，我們將和故事星球Storyland一起，為12-16歲的青少年開設(shè)這一在線英文創(chuàng)意寫作課程。今天中國12-16歲的青少年，更早地成長在國際化的環(huán)境下，接觸英文的經(jīng)驗更為直接，通過英文的直接創(chuàng)作，能夠激發(fā)出不同的文化情感和創(chuàng)作靈感。也更能直接創(chuàng)作出和國際相互對話的作品。

這次的課程導師Julia, 來自美國得克薩斯州。2019年，她獲得了得州創(chuàng)意寫作學會頒發(fā)的最佳本科生寫作獎，后來她到劍橋大學學習了一個創(chuàng)意寫作文憑，又繼續(xù)到UEA完成創(chuàng)意非虛構(gòu)寫作的碩士。她同時在英國諾里奇為當?shù)匾凰咧袚渭媛毨蠋煟碛薪淌趪H學生英文的TEFL證書。目前她正基于她的宗教成長背景在寫一部非虛構(gòu)長篇。

Julia為我們帶來第一期一周在線工作坊主題是"Writing the Personal Essay", 每天2.5小時。主題為：

#Day1

什么是個人寫作？

通過我們所看所感如何鏈接到個人情感？

#Day2

如何通過食物寫出人與人之間的互動？

#Day3

何為虛構(gòu)/非虛構(gòu)？如何寫作對話？

#Day4

如何寫出環(huán)境氛圍？

#Day5

探索你的個人故事

除了每天當堂的小練習之外，每個孩子在五天的工作坊結(jié)束之后，還將完成一篇500-1000單詞的個人寫作。Julia導師會以書面回復(fù)的方式詳細點評，幫助孩子打造自己的第一篇創(chuàng)意寫作作品！

未來，我們期待將孩子們的作品帶到全球舞臺，參加國際眾多的創(chuàng)意寫作征文或者比賽，或者投稿到國際刊物發(fā)表！我們在2025年春季開始也將開設(shè)常規(guī)學期的全球化創(chuàng)意寫作工作坊。無論身在何處的年輕寫作者們，都可以參加！
