This is a family event primarily aimed at children aged 15 and under and their parents/carers. Children must be accompanied by an adult to attend.
Inspire children this half term with a creative haiku workshop outdoors at Calthorpe Community Gardens - a hidden gem near King's Cross. We invite families to come along to the Japan Society’s in-person session led by internationally acclaimed poet, Paul Conneally!
We’ve all heard of haiku, but did you know that haiku are usually seasonal or capture a moment in time? And they don’t even have to be 5-7-5 syllables! In this workshop, children and their carers will find out what really makes a haiku and join Paul on a short ‘haiku walk’ to get the ideas flowing before writing their own poems!
Event Schedule
Paul Conneally is an internationally acclaimed haiku poet and artist. He has led numerous workshops for children and adults in museums, schools, galleries and in his favourite place - ‘outdoors’. He has had the pleasure of leading the judging panel of the JAL Haiku Competition for a number of years and is looking forward to leading this workshop!
Calthorpe Community Garden is an inner city community garden and centre which exists to improve the physical and emotional wellbeing of those who live, work or study in Camden and surrounding areas.
