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: from February to April, we began with a literary theme,
‘You who loved the grace of the violet and white lilac blossoms so dearly’,
and a philosophical theme, ‘There is nothing to do’.
The second workshop offers a literary discussion on the themes
“WHEN THE STORKS FLY BY” and
“OPEN YOUR DOOR TO ME, FOR GOD’S SAKE”.
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.
Submissions must be made exclusively by email by 31 July 2026 at the latest.
