December's theme is climate action. Join us as we explore our relationship to the natural world, and find out about the Europeana Creative Climate Action Award, using visual prompts from the cultural heritage collections of Europeana.eu.
We’ll do some gentle warm-up exercises together and then some longer prompts so you can really explore your ideas. By combining practical writing exercises with a supportive writers’ circle feel, you’ll achieve great things in the session and leave with the resources and ideas to keep the stories coming.
You can write in any language. There is no obligation to share your work. No experience is required.
In association with Europeana Academy. You can also access all the prompts and exercises, and share your writing on the Europeana Writers' Room section of the Europeana Academy (log-in required).
