Linguistic Travels to Scottish, Ukrainian, and Spanish Landscapes Walkshop Festival of Languages - Free

Join us at 2:30-4:30 pm on Friday 4 October at United Colleges-School V for an exciting workshop where we will look at how poetry is made of nature and imagination. Walking around St Andrews, we will get to see the links between Scottish poetry and nature, as well as imagine some very different landscapes — that of Ukrainian forests and steppes by reading from the 1920s Ukrainian poets, and those of mountains and deserts described by Spanish and Latin American poets.

We will meet at School V at 2:30 pm, and after a short walk, return to the classroom to share our impressions, analyse and compare words to nature.

This event is part of the Festival of Languages, organised by the University of St Andrews School of Modern Languages. All events in the Festival programme are FREE and open to the public.
