Follow-up letters, like Paul&#8217;s epistles, are helpful in reviving workshop participants&#8217; enthusiasm to write.<\/p>\n<p>A stronger follow-up approach is my workshop assignments. My desire for results often leads me to create a workshop project. The practical nature of writing demands that we balance workshop lectures with serious workshop writing. I like to involve participants in producing a piece of writing during the workshop and at home afterward.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <i>Stories from Ibadan <\/i>was a Nigeria workshop writing assignment that led to the publication of that anthology of personal experience narratives.\u00a0 Another example is the Uganda workshop, where participants wrote expository articles on their country&#8217;s national anthem, soon to be published. A more recent illustration was a joint project at the writer workshop in South Africa, where participants began writing fiction to compile for publication.\u00a0 These writing projects lead to post-workshop activities that ensure a self-propelled follow-up.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, it is necessary to return to a country to conduct a follow-up workshop, either as a follow-up of the previous one or to provide new direction for the group. That is why an intern can return to an organization for another on-the-job training period.\u00a0 Whichever way follow-up is done, it is an important part of the training process.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>How have you followed up with writers?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<em>Lawrence Darmani<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Lawrence&#8217;s full remarks on writer training <a title=\"Lawrence Darmani on Writer Training\" href=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/The20Call20to20Train20Writers20an20interview20with20Lawrence20Darmani202.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Subscribe to LittWorld Online\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/TPGDc8\">S'abonner<\/a> to LittWorld Online.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawrence Darmani, MAI regional trainer for Africa, has a passion for equipping writers through\u00a0workshops, mentoring and seminars. \u00a0This blog post is the last of a series in which he shares ideas and tips from his long experience as a trainer.\u00a0 As a results-oriented person, I wish I could measure every training session and see writers [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[149,63,67],"class_list":["post-1395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mai","tag-lawrence-darmani","tag-writer-training","tag-writing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
