The National University of Ireland Maynooth (NUI Maynooth) Writing Centre, in collaboration with the NUI Maynooth Library, the Edward M Kennedy Institute at NUI Maynooth, and sectoral partners, invite you to a symposium on the topic

Writing for Intercultural Empathy and Understanding

The hashtag for this event is #WIEU

The symposium has three key purposes:

• to provide those who participate in the event with the opportunity to discuss how writing can contribute to greater intercultural understanding and empathy;
• to explore practical instances where this has happened;
•  to consider how best to scaffold further opportunities for this to occur.

This is a free event but booking is essential.
