Workshops
I am a qualified Youth and Community worker, JNC qualified having worked work a range of children and young people.
I have facilitated workshops in a range of settings for over a decade. I have worked in schools, local and regional established writing groups, festivals, literature events, overseas, and across the UK. I have worked with complex young people, co-worked on long term music projects. I have worked with people who are looking to develop their writing, in higher educational university settings and with professional poets and artists.
I love enabling creativity, getting work performed off the page, and focusing on the therapeutic release that writing offers.
I am open to ideas, person-centered, and always up for a creative challenge!
Testimonials
"Thanks so much for facilitating the wonderful workshop at Krowji.
Meg, I was so amazed that you were able to keep our young people engaged for the whole session. I think it was remarkable that you also got them to produce a rap. I thought you might struggle, especially as we had young people with us who had many challenges. It's a testament to your workshop style, so thank you so much."

"Megan Chapman is a fantastic role model when working with young people and aspiring writers and/or performers. She uplifts and inspires even the most reluctant writer. She brings a relatable, approachable and warm energy. Her performance both moves and generates discussion."

“We were fortunate enough to have Megan Chapman Aka MC MC provide a workshop for our organisation – the aim was to support children in care to explore a creative means for expressing themselves and having their voices heard. Megan is highly skilled in engaging young people and her passion and creativity are infectious. The workshop was brilliant and we are looking forward to working with her again in the future”
