Writing workshops
What is a writing workshop, who is it for, why participate?
A writing workshop is a collaborative moment where everyone is invited to write and express themselves in writing, through games, proposals and writing constraints* designed to stimulate the inventiveness, creativity and style of the participants.
All of this in a caring environment, where we also learn the art of making observations, expressing our feelings about texts and formulating constructive comments.
*Yes, constraint stimulates, liberatesby inviting you to take a step back from your reflexes or habits of writing and inspiration...
The workshops are open to everyone, with no pre-requisites and no need for special writing skills. They can be taken as part of a specific writing project (in this case, see also the "writing mentoring" section), or with the desire to simply unleash one's written expression, or simply out of creative curiosity or recreational desire.
Workshops can be themed or non-themed, in the form of a single session or a cycle of several sessions.
Workshops can be tailor-made to suit individual, institutional or private sector requirements.
