A room of their own | Masterclass #3
Why & why don’t we write? An ode to restrictive thoughts!
WHEN, in collaboration with WHEN Hub and with the support of the Estée Lauder Emerging Leaders Fund and Vital Voices, is delighted to announce the launch of the program “A room of their own”, designed to empower emerging and underrepresented women writers in Greece. The program focuses on education, networking, and visibility for women creators, fostering an inclusive literary community that amplifies women’s voices and promotes equality through the power of storytelling. As part of the program, five in-person and online Masterclasses will be held with acclaimed Greek (and international!) women writers, where participants will develop their creative writing skills.
Masterclass #3, with Viviana Miliaresi
Thursday, February 26, 18:00–20:00, at WHEN Hub
What are “restrictive thoughts”? How are they formed? Guided by the work of Julia Cameron and grounded in Carl Jung’s Shadow Theory, this Masterclass explores how creative writing can function as a tool for identifying, deconstructing, and reframing internal narratives that shape women’s voice, self-image, and expression.
Viviana Miliaresi is the founder of There’s A STORY, where she designs and delivers Creative Writing workshops for children and adolescents. She is a teacher of British and American Literature at Byron College. She is a graduate of the Department of Communication, Media and Culture (Panteion University) and holds a master’s degree in Writing and Digital Media (Goldsmiths, University of London) as well as in Education (PGCE, NITE).
* Sign language interpretation and free creative activities for children will be provided during the Masterclass. If you need this service, please let us know via the registration form!
The program “A room of their own” aspires to become a point of reference for literature in Greece-as a tool for social change, feminist action, and the empowerment of women. Through this initiative, WHEN continues its mission to promote equality, empowerment, and feminist leadership, this time through literature, imagination, and the stories of the very women who are changing the world around them.
