“Kom dit som du är och skriv lite” : Skrivarkurser för barn och unga genom deltagares och ledares perspektiv / “Come as you are and write a little” : Writing courses through the perspective of participants and leaders

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how young people participating in writing courses describe their experiences, how leaders of writing courses discuss their intentions with hosting the activity, and their experiences from working with young people in creative writing programs. The study discusses the view of participators, librarians, authors and professional writing coaches. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews in which two participants and three leaders were interviewed. The four-space model was used as a theoretic framework, trying to make better understanding of how creative writing activities can work as an instrument for meetings, inspiration, performance and learning in the public library context. The results of the study are discussed through thematic analysis, presenting what could be considered as important findings about the participation and implementations of creative writing in the public library. Findings show that the most important part of participating in writing activities, according to both the participants and the leaders, were “having fun” and community.
