local authors and publishers under the Legal Deposit Programme.

The
two-day workshop attracted some 80 students, teachers, civil servants
and members of the public.

During the
workshop, participants were taught and guided to create poetry with two themes namely
love and prayer using mind maps and i-think method.

Poems that were
creatively written by each group were presented on the second day of the workshop.

Apart from

create and send their poems to Jais Sahok for editing using the story board
