WYD regularly
runs a creative writing course (usually twice a year) for young
people aged 13-18 years. It has been taught by Jim Daly and Mark
Roper and has included visits by writers such as Maeve Ingoldsby,
Liam Murphy, Ted O'Regan, Edward Deniston, Pat Boran and Patrick
Galvin. (Pat and Patrick were sponsored by the Irish Writers Centre,
to whom we are grateful.)
One series of
ten weekly classes concluded with a reading as part of the Sean
Dunne Literary Festival. Another was a Partnership Project with
Poetry Ireland and Waterford Corporation.
