Writing beyond borders is a series of three workshops for expats, a series of workshop-based meetings designed to reflect and write about the feeling of being out of place: in a cosmopolitan and digital world that shortens geographical distances but not always emotional ones, we will focus on the relationship between inside (me) and outside (places, but also others) in the stories we write or would like to write.

18 April 2026: “Ma Come Parli?” From 12 to 3 pm and from 3.30 p.m to 6 p.m.

Workshop done in Italian, at the cost of 75 euros.
