Background
This Nature Writers’ Workshop Manual has been developed as a tool to assist facilitators and/or trainers in conducting workshops which link creative writing with nature. The Nature Writer’s Workshop aims to build a sense of respect amongst people for the environment, creating the ability to see the environment as a source of inspiration and pleasure, to foster an intrinsic appreciation for the wild and to create the desire within all of us to conserve our environment. The workshop provides an opportunity for participants to connect with nature. It gives them a space to reflect and record their experiences in creative ways. This manual provides detailed guidelines for facilitators and/or trainers to conduct such workshops.
This harmonious combination of creative words and the ever surprising nature was visualized to be illustrative. The thought was to make something that would make the user fall in-love with his own innocence which could inspire his words with purity, as nature and its beauty.
The initial phase began with tangible visualization of the look and feel of the book by making rough sketches and illustrations, binding them together to form initial prototypes. After having the understanding of the final elements that would be in the pages, final layouts were approved and concreted. Later, the final book was composed in Adobe InDesign and was sent for digital offset four colour printing.
