What’s a story without a setting? Settings help stories come alive, and sometimes even become a character in the story. At #Writing4Kids, Khaki Kids’ 1st Anniversary Special workshop, children’s author Shabnam Minwalla will talk about the art of creating settings. Together, participants will discuss neighbourhoods and corners of Mumbai (or any other city that they know well) and build convincing settings for a range of stories - from humour to mystery to horror. Join in for a morning of creativity, conversation and fun writing.

Age Group: 9-14 years

Duration: 1.5 - 2hours
