imgresIn 1938, Mass Observation asked the people of Bolton to respond to the question“What is happiness?”. This November, as part of the ESRC’s Festival of Social Science, the Mass Observation Archive will reflect on this question once again in a series of public events.

Through the theme of happiness, discover how ordinary British peoples beliefs of the 1930s and 1990s can inspire your own creative writing.

In this practical workshop with Poet Evlynn Sharp and staff from the Mass Observation Archive you will be introduced to tools and values of research. You will also find ways of creating writing that can be helpful in everyday life and work, supporting self-reflection and powerful self-expression

Advance booking is required. Please email: moa@sussex.ac.uk or call 01273 337515 to request a place.
