The creative writing workshop I have been coordinating served as a space for cultural mediation meetings for students and pupils during the year Timișoara was European Capital of Culture. These meetings were followed by creative writing and drawing exercises. The works inspired by the events we attended are gathered in a volume published in 2024 ( https://www.umft.ro/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Texte-de-atelier-Calatorii-Elena-Jebe lean-EBOOK.pdf ). Public readings and the launch of this collective volume brought us together again with the artists and curators of the exhibitions we had visited, promoting both culture and the institutions hosting it. The joy of creating together, as well as the interest young people show in our creations, motivate us to continue such experience.
