DESCRIPTION

ARCHIVED STORIES

Talk Together London team continue delivering creative writing events and workshops at local libraries, schools and Canalside House. The stories are archived on our website and they are accessible to readers for FREE. Simply follow the links below to read the archived stories: 

Stories 2 - 13 years old

By providing children and young people with Legos or modelling clay, we encourage them to imagine their own worlds – whether filled with magic carpets or flying robots.

Stories 14 - 19 years old

To make learning fun and to encourage participants to tap into their creativity, we build emotionally significant links to the life of each writer and engage all the senses and use tools and objects to support and promote thinking.

Stories 19+

Mature students are also benefiting from the simplicity of the story writing templates and report that the strategy helps them overcome writer's block and anxiety in other writing tasks.

Talk, Play and Lifelong Learning

There are a number of advantages to lifelong learning. However, learning after school or at home requires dedication and self-motivation to remain focused, because it is voluntary - not compulsory education!

In other words, lifelong learners may need support and encouragement to stay on track! And that’s what we do: Talk Together London supports children, young people, parents and carers and mature learners to achieve their lifelong competency goals.

Lifelong learning includes formal training as well as less structured ways of adding to professional or personal competency. It includes instruction or coaching, but lifelong learning is not compulsory education. It is voluntary education beyond or after school. We offer support to lifelong learners and home schoolers with services and resources.

Talk Together London aims to generate sustainable funds by means of trading through the online shop and delivering activities, such as workshops and one-to-one or group tuition, in order to help support their services in the community.

We are a registered "Community Interest Company", as denoted by the three letters “C I C” at the end of our name. CICs are social enterprise businesses run for a social, charitable objective, meaning that any surplus created or profit made is reinvested in the company's activities, in order to benefit the community, in accordance with the objectives approved by the CIC Regulator in GB.
