Write Your Own Poems – Inspired by a Sámi Poet
Words, sounds and images are at the heart of this poetry workshop. Together with the Sámi artist Láijla Sofe Egilsdatter Swart, we will play with language, write short texts and explore new ways of expressing thoughts and emotions poetically.
After a short introduction, we will step outside into Bern’s Old Town to gather impressions and inspiration. The workshop invites participants to experiment creatively and explore their own ways of writing – no prior experience is required.
