✨✨✨NEW STARTING DATE: Wednesday, 30.10.24. ✨✨✨

Whether you want to write a personal story, start a YouTube channel, or simply explore different media, this workshop is designed to give you the structure, accountability, and support you need to get started—and keep going—with your storytelling project.

In this 8-week workshop, we’ll draw inspiration from the seven art forms to craft stories rooted in our personal experiences. We’ll begin each week with writing prompts as a foundation and gradually incorporate a new medium to create a multimedia memoir. Every session will focus on one format, include a creative exercise, and wrap up with a feedback round to help you refine your work.

Between sessions, you’ll have access to prompts, a curated list of resources for deeper exploration, and optional online co-working sessions to keep you motivated. If you need extra accountability or personalized feedback, I also offer an additional 1:1 session to review your piece or any other creative project.

How can we use images to complement our words? How is technology reshaping the way we tell stories? And why does documenting your story matter? Join us as we explore these questions together—and share the story only you can tell.

What’s included?
→ 8 x 2-hour group sessions, in person
→ 1 x 15-minute individual session, online (optional)
→ Weekly co-working sessions, online (optional)

This is for you if you:
