Coniston Youth Forum works with underprivileged children and young people living in Manchester. With help from a Lottery grant the group will run a creative writing film club at weekends. During the sessions the young people and their parents will watch a film, discuss it and then write a review or a short story based on the theme and genre of the film. A key skills teacher from the university will take the sessions and will help to improve the basic and creative writing skills of the participants.
