Making Strong Women Visible – with Language, Research, and Personal Ideas
On Saturday, October 17, 2026, the writing workshop Strong Women! Making Their Voices Visible through Writing invites youth aged 15 and older to the irgendDorf in Gelsenkirchen. From 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, a literary experience will unfold, blending creative writing, storytelling, research, and cultural education. Participation is free of charge.
Your Words for Strong Stories
What does strength mean, and which women inspire young people? These questions serve as the starting point for a mindful and empowering workshop. Participants decide whose story will be told – from singer-songwriters to activists, scientists, and everyday heroes.
Creative Writing Meets Social Discourse
The focus is on language, perspective, and visibility. The workshop creates a safe space where young people can develop their own texts, experiment with narrative forms, and discover the literary quality of careful observation. Writing becomes a form of artistic expression and a way to bring personal perceptions into the public sphere.
Research, Movement, and Exploration in Urban Space
The writing process extends beyond the desk. Engaging research, movement, and exploration of the urban space broaden perspectives on biographies, role models, and societal stereotypes. From ideas, observations, and conversations, participants will create their own texts and creative materials that make strong women visible.
An Inspiring Reading Atmosphere for Young People
The author encounter of this format arises from collaborative work, listening, and creation. No prior knowledge is required. The focus is on the joy of literature, developing one's own voice, and experiencing how language becomes a visible sign of participation and self-determination.
Conclusion: Literature Becomes a Visible Stance
The writing workshop combines creative writing, storytelling, research, and empowerment into a unique literary afternoon. Youth aged 15 and older will experience how personal perspectives gain strength through language and how their own texts create societal attention. Those who wish to make strong women visible with their own words will find an open and inspiring space at irgendDorf.
