Recently we were delighted to be invited to Kaohsiung Girls’ Senior High School to deliver a lecture and run a workshop.
During this semester, the class curriculum at Kaohsiung Girls’ Senior High School has focussed on the idea of “Cultural Mosaic” which aims to inspire students in design culture, to respect and embrace different cultures and to explore and expand their world view, through creativity, literature and more.
For this lecture we were invited to talk about our work at Wind&Bones as writers and creatives interested in diverse and intersectional stories from many countries and contexts.
It was wonderful to talk to the girls – and teachers who also joined us – about our work, our writing and the projects we’ve run in Taiwan and beyond. During our talk we explores the question of why so much of our work is around storytelling, philosophy and creative thinking. And we reflected on how diverse stories help nourish our spirit, and how diverse ideas nourish our imagination, allowing us to make better collective decisions.
The girls were a brilliant and attentive audience who went on to write and share their own stories during the session. We’ve added one or two below for you to read.
Thank you to Syliva Li for the kind invitation and thank you to the girls and teachers who made us both feel so welcome. It was a pleasure to visit the school and to see some more of the lovely city Kaohsiung.
