Write Now Berlin

Join us for a 2-hour creative writing workshop where we’ll explore how writing can help you find inner peace, overcome writer’s block, and bring creativity and flow into your work. This session will focus on writing with a climate change perspective, using your natural storytelling instincts and personal experiences to develop new ideas. We’ll also read a published story from Grist beforehand and discuss how it integrates climate themes, offering inspiration for your own work. Whether you’re crafting a short story, play, script, or poem, this workshop will help you get started with a climate lens in mind. Expect it to be personal, thought-provoking, and fun. You might even write things you didn’t realise you remembered!

You don’t need to be an experienced writer to join. This workshop is for anyone seeking inspiration, new ideas, and fresh perspectives on tackling climate issues through creative writing. You’ll leave with plenty of new material to work with.

Sign up for this creative writing workshop and join our ClimArts community. It’s more urgent than ever to talk about climate change through storytelling. 

📅 Date: Sunday, 8th December 2024

Hi everyone! I’ve recently taken over the community management at ClimArts and will continue running this platform because it’s more urgent than ever to talk about climate change through storytelling. We need to use culture, humour, fiction, and more to inspire and motivate both people and decision-makers to act now.

I’ll keep hosting writing workshops here, and now with ClimArts too. On that note, I’d like to share an exciting opportunity for any artists looking to sharpen their climate storytelling skills, collaborate with like-minded creatives, and learn from climate experts.

We’re organising a ClimArts Intensive Weekend Workshop, themed Marine Ecosystems and Conservation in a Changing Climate. This five-day program will help artists build the skills and network needed to turn creative practice into climate action. Dates will be announced in October and you can start your application here.

Love, Secil
