Pascal Bovée

Welcome to the Writing Workshop 2.0! This year we are setting out from PACT Zollverein on writing excursions in the surrounding area. We will explore the north of Essen and write texts about extraordinary and everyday things that we encounter in Katernberg - or could encounter, because creativity is expressly welcome. So pack your notebooks and let your imagination run free!

Unfortunately, we cannot plan a public reading this year at the end of the writing workshop, but we will make your work visible and audible in other ways: in a book, on the internet, on the radio, and above all in the city.

Registration closed

COVID info: The number of participants is limited to 8 people. The group will meet in a large, well-ventilated room at PACT, but if the weather permits, will mainly be outside. In the building, you must wear a face mask that covers both your nose and mouth and maintain a minimum distance of 1.5 m to others at all times. While the well-being of everyone taking part is our foremost priority, we will make every effort to provide a fun and creative working atmosphere for all.
