“Write To Heal“ workshop series was organized during the second and third months of the campaign. The whole workshop series was run virtually on ZOOM Online Meeting Platform. There were 3 workshops hosted by 3 different experienced writers to share different methods of writing to heal and take care of mental health during the crisis. Workshops were virtually run through 3 consecutive weeks on every Saturdays on 21s and 28th of August and 4th of September, 2021. Total number of 49 people registered to attend and each workshop was occupied with an average of 25 numbers of attendees in each workshop.
We had experienced the amazing energy and active participation from the audience. Everyone was willing to learn and share their own experiences and stories with everybody in the virtual meeting room. Furthermore, more than 90% of the attendees were able to connect with each other and stay as part of Purple Feminists Group’s close group community to inclusively contribute and participate in our upcoming activities.
