Creative writing

These workshops support the development of literary skills and self-confidence. Participants will learn what a "writing workshop" entails and engage in a creative exercise. Using a graphical scenario, they will create stories in chosen literary genres, which will then be discussed and summarized together. The workshops aim to develop not only the ability to create and write stories but also teamwork skills and the ability to adapt to changing conditions in the creative process. Join us and enhance your storytelling abilities!

Workshops for younger participants of the MDF festival are unified by our theme for this year – IMAGINE.

By exploring new possibilities for creative thinking, writing, and designing, we will immerse ourselves in the boundless world of imagination, where every idea can become reality!
