Making Strong Women Visible – Through Language, Research, and Personal Ideas

What does strength mean, and which women inspire young people today? The writing workshop Strong Women! Making Them Visible Through Writing invites young people aged 15 and above to creatively, mindfully, and empoweringly explore these questions. On October 4, 2026, a literary experience will be created in irgendDorf in Gelsenkirchen, bridging writing, storytelling, and collective research.

Creative Writing Meets Societal Perspective

The focus is on the search for stories that deserve more visibility in public spaces. The participants decide for themselves which women they want to portray – from singer-songwriters and activists to scientists or everyday heroines. Thus, the workshop connects literary language art with cultural education and personal stance.

Research, Movement, and Storytelling

The workshop extends the writing process beyond the desk. Exciting research, movement, and exploration in urban spaces broaden perspectives on biographies, role models, and societal role perceptions. From initial observations and thoughts, personal texts and creative contributions develop.

A Safe Space for Young Voices

The reading atmosphere of this format is not created by a classic stage reading, but through collaborative work, listening, and creating. The mindful approach creates space for diverse experiences and forms of expression. Every voice has the opportunity to become visible and to share its own narrative perspective.

A Literary Experience with Impact

The goal of the workshop goes beyond individual writing exercises: strong women are to become visible in public spaces with their own texts and creative contributions. Young people experience how literary quality arises from precise observation, research, and linguistic artistry.

Conclusion: The workshop combines creative writing, storytelling, cultural discourse, and empowerment. Young people aged 15 and above can expect an inspiring afternoon in irgendDorf, where personal texts and visible symbols of strong women emerge from ideas.
