Creative writing workshop

Why not travel through the labyrinth of words, dwell in them, and bring out our inner world—dreams, madness, and concerns? To do so, we will open the door to all our senses. In this workshop, sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch will become sources of inspiration for writing. We will practice creative writing, both prose and poetry. The workshop is adaptable to any audience: children, adults, librarians, teachers, parents—with or without the urge to write—those with nothing else to do, those who read, those who don’t, and those who had never considered it until they discovered that in this workshop, even the crossed-out words are truly appreciated.

Objectives

• Create a relaxed environment where everyone can create individually and as a group.
• Learn different techniques to begin writing.
• Learn to appreciate crossing things out.
• Provide tools to support writing in the classroom (for educators).

• Individual and group practical work.
• Guidelines, stimuli, and varied proposals focused on both the technical and stylistic aspects of writing, as well as on the development of imagination and invention. Active participation through telling and listening.
• Imagination exercises.
• The word as a liberating force.
