The Reader’s Bloc is an online/IRL group of readers taking part in reading, listening and sharing exercises around texts that help us learn more about ourselves, the identities we share and the communities we live in.
For our next session, we will be thinking about all the different ways in which we define happiness and the adventures we go on to find it. We are reading two texts — The Glossary of Happiness, a wonderful essay by Emily Anthes, where she talks about finding the right words to describe our happiness; and bits from Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery, exploring how resilience and hope helps us navigate new terrains and emotions.
On registration, we will send you the text and the topics/themes we will discuss.
This programme is exclusively for 18–25 year olds.
This session is conducted as part of our engagements for the MAP Youth Collective. The MAP Youth Collective is a community for young people (18-25 year olds) to engage with the arts and culture sector. The collective is for, of and by young people — to explore our shared identities and interests through art.
