Reading and writing workshop of the Riedstadt youth office
It is a cozy round that has set up on the first floor of the Goddelau youth center: eight boys and girls sit on sofas and bean bags in a circle around a low table with books and nibbles and discuss with youth worker Kai Faßnacht.
The question is whether descriptions of main characters are necessary. "With a novel, I think it's nice that, unlike the comic or film, I can take my own pictures and she can paint me with a imagination," says a girl. But this requires indications, the Faßnacht replies. "You create atmosphere through people and things you describe," he says, referring to the American writer Stephen King. “He does that very detailed. After 50 pages you have the feeling that you are also on a main street in Maine, since in the middle of it and creep up. ”
In the last week of the holiday, the youth worker in the Jugendhaus Goddelau set up a three-day reading and writing workshop and is happy about the great response. With nine - eight that day - participants are fully booked and are enthusiastic about the boys and girls. The favorite books are presented mutually, are books as a reading suggestion and is written especially with a lot of joy. On the last day it will still go to a bookstore that the workshop participants also want to prepare. But now they want to become active again after so many writing suggestions. "Can we continue writing now?" Asks an young author. You can, with a laugh, and so you sit in the room and continue to shape your own stories.
