We have sowed the seeds of developing a new audience for the festival to engage with and this project would allow that relationship to continue to grow and flourish. The project and workshops will look at themes on The Natural Word and it&#8217;s intersection with Culture through poetry, short stories and character development. The writer\u2019s group will engage with C\u00fairt in the form of an event in the 2023 festival. This will engage a growing audience and continue to give new writers opportunity to engage in public performances to promote original materials. The workshops will be aimed at youths and adults with mentorship from guest writers.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-IE\" xml:lang=\"EN-IE\"><span><span>The workshops and performances will be delivered in the Merlin Woods Community Gardens<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":22385,"template":"","class_list":["post-22384","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>C\u00fairt Festival + Friends of Merlin Woods Writers Workshops and Performances - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"After a very successful series of workshops and a performance in Merlin Woods Community Garden on April 6th in C\u00fairt Festival, participants it was felt that the project should continue to increase the writing and performance skills of the writers who participated and to give opportunities to others who would like to engage.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/cuirt-festival-friends-of-merlin-woods-writers-workshops-and-performances\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"C\u00fairt Festival + Friends of Merlin Woods Writers Workshops and Performances - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"After a very successful series of workshops and a performance in Merlin Woods Community Garden on April 6th in C\u00fairt Festival, participants it was felt that the project should continue to increase the writing and performance skills of the writers who participated and to give opportunities to others who would like to engage.
