Participants are requested to bring a project idea that they are working on or will be working on in the near future. The workshop consists of a mix of presentations and practical exercises. Participants should be willing to share and discuss their texts with other participants. They will write a text between the first and the second workshop day. The second part of the workshop is dedicated to discussing participants’ texts.
