Past event
The writing retreat is aimed at providing a friendly space for writing and networking between the Â鶹ÒùÔº SIG members. We would like to encourage members from all parts of the UK and beyond to write for the Â鶹ÒùÔº Blog. This retreat will give participants time to convert a conference presentation, a piece of research, innovative practice or response to a news item into a contribution to the Blog. This writing retreat will provide a space for working (writing/working on EfES related journals/PhDs) and facilitate networking. During the writing breaks there will be time for sharing of any EfES related news, events and activities that our members are involved in.Â
