CLOSED CAPTIONS COMING SOON!

This was an online event for sharing and discussion with disabled writers from Web Spinning.
In the run-up to International Day of Disabled People, Friday 3rd December, Web Spinning Online Writers’ Group invited Leitrim-based community groups to join us in sharing the creative work of the disabled writers who make up this dynamic group.
It was an opportunity to hear / read brand new writing from a variety of perspectives and in a multitude of forms, followed by a discussion about the role of creative practice in the lives of marginalised individuals.
