CILIP East of England event - Reflective Writing Workshop

Those currently working towards CILIP Chartership, Certification or Revalidation (or just thinking about it!) might be interested in the following course:

Reflective Writing workshop
Date: Wednesday 8th May
Time: 2:00-5:00pm
Venue: Ely Public Library, 6 The Cloisters, Ely, Cambridgeshire, CB7 4ZH

Facilitated by Margaret Chapman, the workshop will help you to appreciate the importance of reflection, recognise the differences between descriptive writing and reflective writing (fundamental when writing your evaluative statement!), develop styles of reflective writing...and more.

The course comes to the region for the first time since 2011, so if you are working towards a CILIP qualification, make sure you don't miss out. More information, including delegate rates, is available on the CILIP East blog: http://ow.ly/jP4u8.

There is an early bird discount for CILIP members ending on 20th April; bookings close on 30th April. You can book your place at: http://ow.ly/jjXx9.
