Making strong women visible in their own words
How does strength arise in language? Which women inspire young people, and which stories deserve more attention? The writing workshop Strong Women! Making them visible through writing invites young people aged 15 and over to the irgendDorf in Gelsenkirchen on October 10, 2026. In a mindful and empowering reading atmosphere, the format connects creative writing, storytelling, and cultural education.
Literary language art and personal perspectives
At the center is the question of how female visibility can grow through personal texts. Participants decide for themselves whose story is being told: from singer-songwriters and activists to scientists or everyday heroines. This makes the workshop a literary experience that combines individual perception with societal discourse.
Writing, researching, and exploring the urban space
The writing process is not limited to the desk. Exciting research, movement, and exploration in the urban space open up new access to biographies, role models, and gender images. Observations and ideas lead to original texts as well as creative contributions that make strong women visible in public spaces.
A protected space for young voices
The event views writing as a means of participation and self-determination. In the open working atmosphere of the irgendDorf, young people can try out different narrative forms, find their voice, and discover the literary quality of careful observation. No prior knowledge is required.
Conclusion: Literature as a visible sign
Participants can expect an inspiring writing workshop that combines language art, research, storytelling, and empowerment. Those who want to develop their own perspectives and together with other young writers make strong women visible will experience a special afternoon at the irgendDorf. Participation is free; registration with Viviane Hoof is recommended.
