亲爱的Teenager写作者们,
我想要和你介绍三明治和故事星球Storyland合作的一个全新工作坊类别 ——面向全球的青少年英文创意写作 （Global Young Adult Creative Writing)。创意写作是一个全球性的概念，它指的是创造性写作，不是学术写作，也不是广告、文案等应用型写作。它包含了小说、非虚构、剧本、诗歌等基础的文学创作类型，并不断和影视、游戏、动漫、舞台等其他艺术表现形式碰撞出新的合作。
好的创意写作都是从发掘自己的内心开始的。只有拥有敏锐的感受力，敢于直面自己内心的小情绪，同时愿意通过写作把它们变成可以和外部世界情感流动的艺术形式。最近我看到一个孩子，在申请美国大学的文书中，用创意写作的方式描述了他对爷爷的思念，打动了招生官，成功被录取。我们不是看其功利的效果，而是看到，通过创意写作方式写出的文字，最能跨越地域国界，引起人类广泛的共鸣。
自1936年美国爱荷华大学创立Iowa Writers' Workshop (作家工作坊）以来，创意写作已经成为全球大批作家成长的教育体系。英国第一个创意写作学位在东安格利亚大学（UEA）于1970年创办，培养出像石黑一雄这样的诺贝尔文学奖得主。去年，我在UEA学习英文非虚构创意写作（Creative Nonfiction Writing)。在学习期间，我被workshop中同学老师的相互点评、指导所感染，想将这一英语写作教育体系引入到中国。之前两个月，我已经邀请我的UEA同学在我所创办的写作平台"三明治"开出了成人的创意写作工作坊，效果良好。
这一次，我们将和故事星球Storyland一起，为12-16岁的青少年开设这一在线英文创意写作课程。今天中国12-16岁的青少年，更早地成长在国际化的环境下，接触英文的经验更为直接，通过英文的直接创作，能够激发出不同的文化情感和创作灵感。也更能直接创作出和国际相互对话的作品。
这次的课程导师Julia, 来自美国得克萨斯州。2019年，她获得了得州创意写作学会颁发的最佳本科生写作奖，后来她到剑桥大学学习了一个创意写作文凭，又继续到UEA完成创意非虚构写作的硕士。她同时在英国诺里奇为当地一所高中担任兼职老师，并拥有教授国际学生英文的TEFL证书。目前她正基于她的宗教成长背景在写一部非虚构长篇。

Julia为我们带来第一期一周在线工作坊主题是"Writing the Personal Essay", 每天2.5小时。主题为：
#Day1
什么是个人写作？
通过我们所看所感如何链接到个人情感？
#Day2
如何通过食物写出人与人之间的互动？
#Day3
何为虚构/非虚构？如何写作对话？
#Day4
如何写出环境氛围？
#Day5
探索你的个人故事
除了每天当堂的小练习之外，每个孩子在五天的工作坊结束之后，还将完成一篇500-1000单词的个人写作。Julia导师会以书面回复的方式详细点评，帮助孩子打造自己的第一篇创意写作作品！
未来，我们期待将孩子们的作品带到全球舞台，参加国际众多的创意写作征文或者比赛，或者投稿到国际刊物发表！我们在2025年春季开始也将开设常规学期的全球化创意写作工作坊。无论身在何处的年轻写作者们，都可以参加！
