Combating illiteracy is a big deal even in democratic times with free basic education. But often the reason of writing and reading problems is not the lack of abilities or practice but the monotony of stereotyped education strategies which don’t increase neither motivation nor creativity. Aim is to transmit unformal methods to motivate people to write as well as to provide the skills to pass these methods to other people, students or groups.

This workshop revises the wide range of creative exercises and free writing methods which inspire fantasy and, moreover, the will and need to write. Creativity writing techniques impulse the flow of feelings in a spontaneous, often unique way, opening the mind and increasing the motivation for written communication. No matter if your students are dyslexic, have grammar problems or don’t like to take a pen – the exercises are conceived to make work their mind in a way they will feel the necessity to put their ideas on a paper and enjoy writing!
