New 'STAMMAFest @home' online events

Monday 12th October 2026 - 14:08

Missed out on the magic of STAMMAFest this year? Wish you could have been part of the action?

Never fear! To celebrate International Stammering Awareness Day, that week we are bringing the festival straight to your screen with 'STAMMAFest@Home'.

We are hosting four incredible workshops from this year's event online, featuring an amazing lineup of speakers.

Here is what we have lined up for you:

Difference not defect

Tuesday 20th October, 6-7:30pm

'Stammering Pride' and neurodiversity have been widely talked about in recent years. Join Patrick Campbell & Sam Simpson as they reflect on a decade of change for our community.

Two presenters speaking to a class of adults

Creative writing

Tuesday 20th October, 7:30-8:30pm

Tap into your creative energy! How would you describe your voice? Join Adam Giannelli and Bevin Murphy for an online workshop where no previous creative-writing experience is necessary.

I am responsible for building my tomorrow

Wednesday 21st October, 6-7:30pm

We don't control the fact of our stammer, but we have choice in our attitudes to it, to stigma, and to our own subconscious drives. Join host Hanan Hurwitz to explore this in depth.

Walking with avoidance

Wednesday 21st October, 7:30-8:30pm

Join speech & language therapist Trish Chilton, as she explores ideas on using compassion to work out when avoidance is serving you, when it's getting in your way and what to say when other people tell you to stop avoiding.
