Birmingham has a long and varied history of supporting the development of readers and writers, at many levels, within the city. There is a similar long history of creativity and socially-focused thinking. The Word's the Thing is one small current piece of this much larger jigsaw of activity. Its main aim is to produce a range of texts and images openly available to a wide audience, in order to stimulate some broader thinking about language, ideas and developments. The contents of this site will change and emerge over time. There is hopefully a deliberate feeling of contingency and possibility rather than there being set products to sell or information to promote.
The work on this site is produced in good faith. Its ownership remains at all times jointly with Birmingham Core Skills Development Partnership and Forward Thinking Developments Limited. The majority of the content is openly available for non-commercial uses, with an acknowledgement of its source. The materials on this site are meant to be used in a wide variety of appropriate ways. We hope that you enjoy it; discover something to think/talk about, and that you will want to share it with others.
