About the volunteering opportunity
Intercultural writing group - creative and inclusive together!
Our writing group brings together people who enjoy writing and want to exchange creative ideas. Whether you are just starting out or already have experience - everyone is welcome! We meet regularly in an open, friendly atmosphere to write stories and develop new ideas together. The aim is also to set the stories as audio books in the Kiezspinne mobile sound workshop.
German language skills from level A2 are sufficient to take part.
A small, dedicated group is looking forward to meeting you!
Sign up if you are interested and become part of our diverse writing community.

On weekdays, during the day, at night
The time frame for those involved in the writing group can be flexible and depends on the expectations and structure of the group. Here are some points that could concretize the time frame:
Regular meetings:
- Once a week or every two weeks for about two hours.
- Availability on fixed days of the week can be agreed in advance to encourage regular attendance.
Preparation and follow-up:
- In addition to the meetings, it could be useful to schedule around 1-2 hours per week for writing or reading and commenting on other group members' texts.
Flexible participation options:
- Hybrid or purely digital sessions can be offered for committed people who want to participate regardless of location.
- Flexibility if someone is unable to attend regularly, e.g. through online participation or the option to participate asynchronously.
Project and event planning:
- If additional projects (e.g. publication of a book or anthology) are pending, committed people could also participate in the planning and organization at times.
- This involvement could be sporadic and voluntary, depending on interest and available time.
With these flexible options, each volunteer can adapt the time commitment to his/her individual possibilities in order to participate in the group in a sustainable and enjoyable way.
