ORIGIN: Writing workshops emerged in the 1970s and 1980s, primarily in the United States, with Nathalie Goldberg and Peter Elbow. The idea was to create a space where people could write freely and without judgement in order to discover their creativity and improve their writing.
Our writing workshop presents two themes each quarter:
Now that a whole host of authors have explored the themes
‘When the storks fly by’ and
‘Open your door to me, for the love of God’
over the past three months, we are now moving on to the third round.
Our themes for August, September and October are:
Theme 1: ‘Oh, what a lovely day!’ and
Theme 2: ‘The art of encounter.’
Open to all. Maximum 4 pages (A4 format). Font and font size are freely selectable. All genres are permitted. All languages (French, Italian, English, German, Arabic, etc.). A translation is mandatory.
