Writing workshop 17 October - 5 December 2020
A cycle of workshops to experiment with writing through reading and reflection on correspondence, places of dialogue, living tools of sharing, bridges extended towards each other, literary photographs able to recount different eras and contexts.
An education in the reading and writing of correspondence helps participants get in touch with stories and history. During the workshops, Andrea Tarabbia identifies some key thematic concepts and guides participants in the reading of selected correspondence.
Each thematic lesson is followed by the workshop on the topics covered, during which participants can try their hand at writing, guided by the author. Booking the lesson, students are automatically enrolled in the workshop.
