'Time' - Europeana Writers’ Room - monthly creative writing workshops

7th January 2026 2:00pm to 3:00pm

Register now for the free online Europeana Writers’ Room on 7 January to explore the theme of time - the passing of time, the cycles of time, time travel... We'll use cultural heritage prompts to introduce  these ideas plus some people who played important roles in the history of time itself! 

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).
