Words Taking Flight: Artistic Scribblings at the Urban Library
==================================================================================
The Bergisch Gladbach City Library is set to host a writing workshop for children aged 10-14 during the summer holidays. This event, part of the "SchreibLand NRW" initiative, will take place from August 4 to 9, 2025, at the library's Forum location on Hauptstraße 250.
The workshop, led by author and writing coach Charlotte Luise Fechner, aims to inspire creative writing and leave literary traces. Participants will have the opportunity to develop their imagination, create their own stories, and present them at a final reading.
The cost for the entire week-long workshop is €25. Registration for the workshop should be done by email to Andrea Görgen.
The joy of writing, discovering one's own voice, and creative exchange with other participants are the main focuses of the workshop. Each year, young writing talents transform into word acrobats at the Bergisch Gladbach City Library through these workshops.
The workshop is supported by the Literature Office NRW and the Association of Libraries NRW, and is funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The city library's media inventory includes anthologies such as "federleicht" and "Today it's ABOUT the WORLD". Additionally, a book titled "Journey to Traumania" by 10-year-old Lina G. is also part of the library's collection, showcasing the potential and creativity that can blossom from these workshops.
However, as of now, no specific public details about the Summer Writing Workshop 2025 for 10-14-year-olds at the Bergisch Gladbach City Library can be confirmed from the available data. It is recommended to directly contact the library through their official website or local announcements closer to or during summer 2025 for accurate information. Libraries often update their event programs seasonally.
- After the workshop, the children might be inspired to explore different aspects of life such as lifestyle, fashion-and-beauty, food-and-drink, home-and-garden, relationships, pets, travel, cars, or shopping in their future stories.
- For those who enjoy shopping, the city library's media inventory might offer interesting books on the latest fashion trends and beauty tips.
- The author Charlotte Luise Fechner might also encourage discussions about personal interests, like pets or cars, during the creative exchange sessions.
- During the travel segment of their stories, the participants could imagine visiting exotic locations or even stepping into alternate worlds, sparked by books like "Journey to Traumania."
- While attending the workshop, participants might find Carolina Bucci's "The Art of Living," a book focusing on personal growth, lifestyle, and well-being, to be a great addition to their personal reading list.
