TARA FOUNDATION
CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOPS
TARA Foundation organizes creative writing workshops to allow students to express themselves in writing.
Creative writing encourages kids to exercise their creativity, by practicing using their imaginations. It improves their ability to come up with alternatives. This broadens their thought processes, which can lead to success in many areas, including problem solving and analysis. Not only is it a mean to help students unleash their creative side and feel more comfortable when writing in and about everyday life, but has also been proven to improve language learning. At our very own vicinity, creative writing has been used as an approach to mastering a foreign language.

- Communication and Persuasion Skills.
Many students find it challenging to express their ideas, develop engaging narratives, or incorporate literary techniques effectively. This lack of proficiency in creative writing hinders their ability to communicate imaginatively, limit their academic achievements, and prevent them from fully exploring their creative potential.
To address this problem, TARA focuses on developing students’ writing skills, fostering their creativity, and building their confidence in expressing their thoughts and ideas through written narratives. We conduct regular writing workshops where students can practice various creative writing techniques. These workshops cover areas such as storytelling, character development, descriptive writing, and effective use of dialogue. These workshops also provide a variety of writing prompts and exercises to stimulate students’ creativity and encourage them to think outside the box.
When students were asked how they found these workshops, most of them admitted to having a new set of confidence when told to write in school, as their lexicon has expanded and they now have more than one way to answer any essay question. When students are confident in their style of writing, they are taught to take ownership of the piece of writing they create, and will perform better in their academics.
