Be there when we announce the new student city writers for 2026!
The Berlin Stories program, launched by the Kulturwerk des Studierendenwerks Berlin, offers students a platform to process life and observations in the big city in literary form. The Berlin Stories blog provides insights into previous texts that open up new perspectives on young Berlin today.
Alexandra Zysset, city writer for the second half of 2025, will read from her final project and pass the baton to the new city writers, who will give a first glimpse of their work. Stay tuned!
The following applicants were selected by the jury for the shortlist:
