a creative writing session for students at another First Story event
150 school children are coming to UCL on 6 February to write fiction inspired by UCL's wide range of museums and collections. The students, from ten London schools, will spend the day exploring UCL's museums and collections before forming into groups and producing pieces of creative writing. Members of the public and the UCL community are then invited to hear some of this writing being read out by the students. After visiting the Petrie , Grant and Art Museums , the Rock Room and the Flaxman Gallery , the students will join one of ten published authors to create a short piece of writing inspired by the day's experiences. Everyone is then welcome to the students' performances, which take place in the Ambrose-Fleming Lecture Theatre at 4.30pm on the same day. The event is run by First Story , a charity that 'supports and inspires creativity, literacy and talent in UK schools and their communities', and the UCL English department , with volunteers from the department supporting the workshops. Among the authors confirmed are Pete Hobbs , James Dawson , Betsy Tobin , Shauna O'Briain and Ben Faccini.
