Writing the Speech of Children with Hinde Kaddour

Facilitated by Hinde Kaddour, this writing workshop explores the voices of children using anonymized audio recordings. Participants listen attentively and produce short written forms — fragments, bursts, and altered transcriptions — that preserve the uniqueness of child speech without smoothing it, letting voice shape language. Through close listening and short exercises, the session examines ethical considerations, stylistic strategies and techniques for keeping oral rhythm and texture in writing.
