Writing Workshop

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 first writing workshop will present two themes each quarter: We will start from February to April with a literary theme
‘You who love the grace of purple and white lilac blossoms so much’
and a philosophical theme ‘There is nothing to do’.
Open to all. Maximum 4 pages (A4 format). Font and size of your choice. All genres. All languages (French, Italian, English, German, Arabic, etc.). Translation required.

Submit your work exclusively by email by 30 April 2026 at the latest.
