Writing with Care Responsibilities [Only in German]

Balancing care responsibilities during your studies — whether for children, parents, or other relatives — can be overwhelming. Are you juggling too many tasks to find time to write? And when you finally do, do concentration and motivation feel out of reach? Perhaps you feel exhausted, or disconnected from your writing project?

In this writing group, we explore how writing can reclaim its place in your mind and everyday life. Over eight weekly sessions, you will meet with like-minded participants for exchange, structured writing time, and practical exercises tailored to writers with caregiving responsibilities.

The first and final sessions will take place on location; the remaining meetings will be held online via Webex. Students from all disciplines are welcome. If you have any questions, please contact us at: schreibberatung@stw.berlin.

When? Wednesday, 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. | February 25th, 2026 – April 15th, 2026 (8 sessions)

Where? Online, except for the first and last sessions:

25/02/2026, 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.: Hardenbergstr. 34, 10623 Berlin

15/04/2026, 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m..: Hardenbergstr. 34, 10623 Berlin

The writing group is facilitated by peer tutors who provide ongoing support, including individual writing consultations and answers to questions in all stages of the writing process. The group is limited to 15 participants.

Registration is open from 19 January to 13 February 2026.
