Writing For Pleasure with Nadine Bakhous

A training workshop designed for teachers, offering a set of practical tools and strategies to support children in writing for pleasure rather than for assessment. It focuses on creating a safe environment that frees the child from the pressure of getting the form right, encouraging imagination and free expression of ideas and emotions in various forms (story, reflection, blog-style writing). Teachers will practice pre‑writing motivation techniques, guidance strategies during writing, and supportive response methods after writing—without judgment or direct correction—in order to build a positive relationship between the child and the act of writing as a space for play and self‑discovery.
