The director of the Edinburgh International Book Festival was set on his literary path by a teacher who made poetry real.
There were 6 create events throughout July that took place at:
Callander – The Brigdend Hotel, Raploch Community Campus, Balfron – Donaldson Park, Mayfield Centre, Dunblane Centre and Bannockburn High School.
At each event young people from 10 to 25 years old were offered the opportunity to participate in a range of fun and free activities, which enabled them to learn new skills, meet new people and try new things. Activities included a bird of prey workshop, boot camp experience, zumba workshops, animation workshops, music workshops, martial arts, pot planting, the cube (similar to the TV show), a police workshop depicting a day in the life of a police officer & a fire brigade workshop highlighting the dangers of fire.
At the end of each ‘Create’ day a BBQ was held to replenish all the hungry stomachs.
There was a fantastic turnout of between 60 – 85 people at each ‘create’ event.
The final create is due to take place on Thursday 11th August at Fallin’s Alpha Centre from 4-8pm. It is open to all young people aged 10-25 from Stirling and surrounding areas AND it’s free! There will be lots happening including a free BBQ, live music, as well as interactive activities.

Some FAQs
Q Do I need a web cam?
A A web cam is not essential but it is more fun if you do have one, as everyone can see you and it’s easier to join in discussions.
Q Does it matter which internet browser I use?
A Any browser should work, but if you have trouble just try another – Firefox, Internet Explorer etc
There are sure to be lots more questions that come out during the Glow Meets themselves.
