OPEN Invitation

Unique Dyslexic is a new Dyslexia Pathways CiC Project.

We are based in Glenrothes Fife.

Dyslexia Pathways CiC: Being dyslexia positive
...

Are you dyslexic or think you are dyslexic?
It is well known and many dyslexics are also creative individuals

Are you a creative individual or would like to find out more about being creative?

Are you interested in art, drawing, poetry, cooking, photography, music or any other creative activity?

Then the Unique Dyslexic Project is for you.

The Unique Dyslexic project will be running 3 or 4 creative workshops in across Fife in 2014. These workshops are free and travel expenses and lunch is provided.

You are cordially invited to join the Unique Dyslexic Facebook page at the address below:
http://www.facebook.com/groups/unique.dyslexic/

Unique Dyslexic encompasses all areas of creativity from the arts to photography and cooking to music.

Free dyslexia screening for people over the age of 16 attending the workshops

We will also run a workshop for any organisations in Fife wanting to better meet the needs of their dyslexic clients / employees etc.

You do not have to live in Fife to get involved with the Unique Dyslexic project. Any one from anywhere in the world can share their creative works on the Unique Dyslexic Facebook page.

Research indicates around 10% of the UK population are dyslexic. As a result many dyslexics feel isolated and there is no real tangible dyslexic community.

The Unique Dyslexic project seeks to redress this by bringing them together in these workshops where they can develop their creative talents and share experiences of being dyslexic, form friendships and a peer support group.

People taking part in this can share their work project through either on the Unique Dyslexic Facebook Page.

These workshops are open anyone who is dyslexic or thinks they are dyslexic. To anyone who is interested in finding out more about being creative from beginner to expert.

Each workshop will run between 3 to 4 hours and will include short dyslexia awareness presentation on the social model of dyslexia and being dyslexia positive.

You do not have to attend any of the workshops to get your work shown on our Facebook page. Just send it to:

stephen.mccue@dyslexiapathways.co.uk

Or directly to the Unique Dyslexic Facebook page

The Unique Dyslexic project it partly funded by the Big Lottery
