South Africa has always had something unique to offer. Since their inception, writing centres (WrCr) in our country have taken the best of the US and EU WrCr models and applied them to our own contexts. The vision of this year’s gathering is to reflect upon how WrCrs have evolved in South Africa, and what the future holds. You are invited to come and share what makes your WrCr unique and how you think your practices may help to improve the efficacy of the other centres in South Africa.
