Stephen Davies visiting an international school

International School Visits

Author talks and creative writing workshops across the whole age range of your international school, from 4 to 18 years old

Oh, the places you’ll go!

I enjoy working in international schools, sharing the joy of storytelling with students of all ages. I have done presentations and creative writing workshops in many different countries: Austria, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, China, Egypt, Germany, Indonesia, Jordan, Malawi, Mali, Malta, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Thailand, the UAE, the UK, and the USA.

I love the melting pot atmosphere of international schools and the curiosity and open-mindedness of their students. My new young adult novel How to Steal the Rosetta Stone is set in an international school and is dedicated to international school students all over the world.

Testimonials

  • Stephen has a quiet, calm and yet very engaging manner. He shared fascinating details of his experiences as a writer to excite the students and walked them through some practical tips to get their ideas down on paper quickly. The sessions were interactive, varied and accessible by students of all levels of interest and ability. A distinct highlight was the travel writing session, based on Stephen’s experience of a fishing festival in Mali. Students were thrilled with the results and very motivated to see their words and ideas already forming, in less than an hour. I can’t wait to go back to the pieces they started and continue developing them. Students felt that Stephen gave them some of the keys to see their own writing in print one day.”

  • Stephen is a natural. He exudes warmth and a genuine interest in children. His curiosity for this part of the world was obvious, as he shared the real-life experiences behind his stories. Stephen tailored his presentations and workshops depending on the grade level in way that hooked the students (and teachers). Our students were engaged and motivated during his workshops and some continued with their stories back in class. I have started a writers workshop with my Grade 6’s and students are using many of the techniques and strategies they learned from Stephen. I highly recommend him as a visiting author to schools and would love for him to return.

  • We thought Stephen was absolutely fab. He was a wonderful orator who really gripped the children’s attention. The Titanic assembly was perfectly pitched for our topic and children, and the workshops were exactly what our children needed. The way he encouraged them to drip feed information into a paragraph has stuck!
