How creative writing can be used as a tool to change society’s consciousness was a topic of discussion among students at the Faculty of Philology – Department of English Language and Literature at “St. Cyril and Methodius” University in Skopje. Elena Badaloska and Isabela Celevska presented to their colleagues the impressions, experiences and knowledge gained in a training course entitled: “Creative Writing as a Tool for Social Change” held in Struga during the European Commission’s Erasmus + program from 9 to 17 December last year.

The purpose of the training course organized by Volunteer Center Skopje and the Finnish partner “Puntland” was to learn appropriate techniques and methods to counter stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination.
