watch more events of the project

This project aims to engage young migrants in managing a more sustainable lifestyle, increase awareness toward a sustainable and ecological living urban environment and raise the discussion on climate changes.

We invite you to join the Youth Included Writing Retreat.

Trip program:

* Genres, their clear and blurred boundaries
* Fears of novice writers, getting started with text, where to get inspiration from and whether you need it.
* Building a plot, what should be avoided in the text, how to "squeeze out excess water." Fighting bureaucrats.
* How to protect your ideas from misinterpretation.

Accommodation (near Prague) and the program are free, food at your expense.

Because Youth Included is a non-profit organization that runs themed events for migrants to get to know each other, expand their network and make friends!

This meeting is part of our Artistic Nomads project (http://youthincluded.com/portfolio/), funded by our dear DZS and Solidarity Corps (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en)
