In this broad introduction to Creative Writing, participants will be able to experiment with a wide spectrum of writing techniques, all of them centring on the theme of "Worldbuilding". In addition to providing a forum for participants to work intensively at their own writing skills, the seminar should interest future teachers alert to the rich potential of creative writing in teaching language and literature.
The seminar can be taken for Vertiefungsmodul 6.2, but is also open to any student of English who enjoys creative writing, or would like to try it - provided there is enough space in the room. This is a course that tends to attract people who participate solely for the pleasure of writing and being with like-minded individuals - and that is what gives the class its soul and energy.
