Reading: Schreiben hilft! für FLINTA* & Klassenreisen [in German]

Come to a free reading of intimate, raw texts on topics you will probably recognise yourself in.

The two workshops "Schreiben hilft! für FLINTA*" and "Klassenreisen" took place over the summer semester under the direction of Elisabeth Pape.
Some students from the courses are now reading the texts they produced. They are tender, honest and personal. Come and see them!

Schreiben hilft! für FLINTA*
In the workshop for FLINTA* people, the students encountered themselves in writing. Various writing impulses were used to sensitise their own perception and create the space to address topics that tend to get lost in everyday life. One focus was on their own mental health.

Klassenreisen
Those who have not previously dared to write about their origins were given the space to do so. The shared exchange created a space that showed the students that they are not alone with their experiences. The target group of the workshop were students whose parents do not have an academic background, students from working-class families and students who grew up in relative poverty.
