The Windows Project

The Windows Project was created in 1976 by poets and writers, in order to introduce marginalised groups to the power of language as a creative tool and registered as a charity in 1981.

School Workshops and Community Outreach

Our game-based approach has proved successful not only in playschemes all over the region and beyond but also developments, in youth clubs, schools, libraries, colleges, day centres for elderly or disabled and residential institutions for care or custody.The Windows Project runs sessions in places not normally associated with education, many specifically directed to people with mental or physical difficulties and also for children and young people in areas designated as educationally deprived.

Publications

The Project publishes work in booklets from workshops with people of all ages, as well as producing the well respected Smoke magazine; a publicity facility for local small press publishing; and provides events, readings and talks by visiting writers.

Writer Development

The project has undertaken efforts to enhance the availability of advice and assistance for aspiring writers. It aims to provide comprehensive support to writers in their developmental stages, ensuring accessibility to resources and guidance. Through these initiatives, the project seeks to empower emerging writers and foster a thriving community of literary talent.
