Bring your book!
This workshop invites everyone to gather in a warm and friendly circle, bringing along a book they love that speaks of the Mediterranean - its stories, traditions, culture or climate. Participants will have the opportunity to share short readings from their chosen books, offering personal windows into the richness and diversity of the region's voices.
After the shared readings, we'll take part in creative exercises inspired by the texts. These may include reflective writing, collective storytelling, or artistic activities designed to stimulate the imagination and strengthen bonds. The aim of the workshop is to foster a love of reading, to create a space where everyone can share their vision of the Mediterranean, and to bring people together around the pleasure of stories.
