Workshops

Newsletter & Journalism

Our journalists and reporters edit the Camphill Chronicle, cover life across the community and go out into Milton Keynes to report on what matters to the people who live here.

About the workshop

Our Community’s Newsroom

The newsletter workshop produces the Camphill Chronicle, our community newspaper: participants plan each issue, interview people across the community, write up events and celebrations and lay the pages out on screen.

The team also reports beyond Camphill. They investigate for partners such as the Parks Trust, checking new paths and facilities for accessibility, and take part in engagement activities across the city.

The Tech Lab sits within the workshop. Here the word “disability” is not in our dictionary: with support, collaboration and persistence everyone can enjoy an online presence and the benefits of modern technology, from video calls with family to designing flyers, signs and maps for the café and other workshops.
