Three free events open to the general public, bringing together writing, poetry, illustration, and cinema. An opportunity to unleash your creativity, with no prior knowledge required, in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
Writing workshop La Poésie du Kebab
Following the screening of a film from the program, two poets from the French-Swiss publication L’Épître invite you to write poetry based on your emotional experience of the film, using your own words and expressions. The idea is to demystify the poetic gesture and create an emotional connection with a little-known literary genre, while having fun.
