Start your days writing / 26-4-WC-3

Participation

Doctoral researchers of the Berlin University Alliance.

Before booking a workshop, please make sure that you can attend for the entire duration to receive a certificate. Please check our terms and conditions.

 

Objectives & Content

The goal of the Writing Café is to give you the opportunity to devote time to your writing projects among peers.  Write on your project in a group, alone or in tandems. An expert will be present for some time slots to answer questions and provide brief one-on-one consultations (in both English and German).

You can work alone or in tandems. You can cut it short or stay longer. If you want to find a writing group just join one of the groups or meet others looking to start a new group.

Sign up and block a time slot just for writing. 
You will be provided with the link under "recources" after registering. Spread the word! 

For each session we recommend: prepare your workplace, turn on an out-of-office alert, turn off your phone, and use the time to focus on your writing!

 

Please note

Also check out workshops at the BUA partner institutions that are available for you free of charge: Graduate Studies Support Program.

For workshops held online, participation is allowed under the following conditions: a working camera that is turned on and a microphone to allow active participation in discussions and group work. Headphones must also be used to protect other participants from office eavesdroppers. Regardless of on-site or online workshops, we would like to refer to the rules at Freie Universität Berlin, which can be found in the Code of Conduct.

 

Further Information

Postdocs are welcome to participate if spots are available.

Doctoral programs calculate credits based on the number of work units earned through workshop participation. Each work unit represents 45 minutes of workshop time, and 8 work units equal 0.5 credit points. For mini workshops (less than 8 work units), credits are calculated proportionally based on the work units. Please note: To be eligible for credit transfer, you must accumulate enough work units from short workshops. For example, attending two 3-hour workshops results in 8 work units (2 workshops x 4 work units each), which equals 0.5 credits.
