Description
Our online reading and writing cafe is a welcoming space where you can meet with library staff and other students and dedicate some focussed time to your studies.
This is not a formal workshop. Instead, we provide a short warm-up chat and reflective activity and a supportive, structured space for you to get on with reading and/or writing.
Don’t worry what stage of the process you’re at. Just bring along some reading or a piece of work you need to write, pen and paper or laptop, and drink of your choice.
This workshop will take place online in Microsoft Teams – guidance on using Microsoft Teams is available. The workshop will have interactive elements and we recommend that if possible you use a laptop or PC. You may wish to use an additional mobile device or another tab in your browser for the interactive elements. You can access session materials beforehand from the Study Skills site.
Why not also come along to an academic skills workshop? See the Events diary and Infohub for more details.
