Dreaming Democracy Writing Workshop: Envisioning Utopia

After The Storm, Washington Socialist, and Bol Coop and the Center for Partisanship are partnering for a hands-on writing workshop on Wednesday, October 23, from 6:30-8:30pm at Creative Grounds DC. This is the first of a three-part series of workshops. You are welcome to attend just one or all of them.

Envisioning Utopia: Dreams, Desires, Ideals
Many of us don't currently feel represented in our political systems. How can we realize our desires, dreams, values, and ambitions? In a world that values our collective wellbeing, what might real democracy look like? And what are some institutions we might need to create or strengthen as we think about how to get closer to such a world?

Come to our writing workshop and join others in visioning with solo & collaborative writing exercises and group discussion.

PSsst. Want to come but don't consider yourself a writer? PLEASE come. This space is for you :)

Format
This workshop is capped at 35 people to ensure everyone has space in the venue to write comfortably. There will be a facilitator, some individual writing time, and time to share in pairs or small groups. Please feel free to bring your preferred writing utensils, and any water or snacks you may need!
If you sign up but can no longer attend, please cancel so your spot can go to someone else. Once this event reaches capacity, a waitlist will open automatically.
