Schools 2012

Although I now live in Brittany, I return to Wales as often as I possibly can, partly to get a Welsh “fix” and also to visit schools and libraries and work with children and adults ~ but especially in primary schools with years 4, 5 and 6, Year 7 and GCSE And A level students involved in creative writing modules in secondary schools.

My next visit to Wales will begin on 27^th February. That day, and the following days up to and including 1^st March (St David’s and World Book Day) I’ll be visiting Caerphilly Libraries and meeting some schools in the area. On Friday 2^nd I’ll be at Rhydypennau Library opposite Roath Park, meeting some children from Rhydypennau Primary School in the morning, story-telling to pre-schoolers in the afternoon and meeting up with the Cardiff High after-school readers’ club later.

On 5^th March I’m visiting some friends I met in a library on my last visit, at Coed Eva Primary School in Cwmbran. Tuesday and Wednesday I’ll be visiting some libraries in Blaenau Gwent and meeting some more children, and finishing my time in Wales at Chepstow Comprehensive where I’ll be talking to the Y7 children and meeting up with some Y10 students in the afternoon.

If you’d like me to visit to your school/library/organisation for talks or workshops, anywhere in Wales, please contact me ~ robjen@wanadoo.fr. I shall be back in Wales at the end of June ~ I’m taking part in the Dinefwr Literature Festival which will be held from 29^th June to 1^st July 2012 inclusive. I’ll be available to visit schools and libraries during the week leading up to the Festival, but my time tends to get booked up quite quickly, and once I book the ferry from France ~ that’s it, I’m afraid! So if you’d like a visit then, please get in touch as soon as possible ~ and apply straight away for partial funding from Literature Wales who operate the Writers on Tour scheme.
