Do you have a story to tell?
Roomers provides weekly writing workshops, aiming to give residents:
- an outlet to publish their creative work;
- the opportunity and incentive to improve literacy, creative and communication skills;
- access to a skilled tutor;
- access to current agency information from a resident perspective;
- a means of reducing social isolation and encouraging community participation
Almost all contributors to Roomers are local residents or ex-residents of rooming houses, private hotels or supported residential services in St Kilda, South and Port Melbourne.
- Workshops run weekly, on Thursdays, at Elwood Neighbourhood House
- To participate, you will need to make an appointment with the Roomers Tutor. You can do this by contacting us via email or phone using the details below.
Whether your story is based on your life experiences or your imagination, this program provides a safe and supportive space to explore and enhance your creative talents.
ROOMERS is for people who have experienced insecure housing and/or financial or social disadvantage.
