The writing workshop is meant to connect people from different backgrounds, experiences, identities in order to create a democratic inclusive space in which build a transnational dialogue with the Other to become aware citizens capable, from whatever field they work, to achieve the capacity to act in favor of politics of presence rather than politics of representation.

Within this space, we aim to promote a civic society that acts as a changing agent to transform communities starting from the single individual. If we only learn to translate our identity as a rhizomatic experience leading to a poetic of relation, we will be able to cross all forms of exclusions.

Being able to use storytelling and imagination to transcend and transform experience leads us to ask questions, to challenge, to conceive alternatives to the status quo, to claim for social justice, to promote global participation, to transform information into experience and to shift the center.

In this workshop we will explore different themes from different perspectives, speculating on how things could be by embracing a change of consciousness and social presence.

Among the themes: language, identity, women in the public space, migration, storytelling, creating new forms of effective power, memory and collective responsibility, the body in space and time, dynamics of exclusion, integration and inclusion, the role of language in society, reinventing activism between tradition and modernity, crossing borders and all the intersections in between.
