Jarek Adams
Experience
My most recent work has been as a one-to-one mentor and writing group tutor specialising in supporting older writers and marginalised people, helping them to use writing as a means of exploring and understanding their worlds. I’ve also worked for large organisations such as Gloucester Cathedral as their storyteller, and workshop leader creating community writing projects such as the Gloucester Knife Angel poem.
I’ve recently relocated to London, and I have a Masters Degree in Creative Writing and Wellbeing from Teesside University. For more detailed information on the people I’ve worked with and what I could offer your organisation please see my website www.jarekadams.com
