Middle Ground: PREE. Caribbean Writing offers the possibility to deepen one’s own writing practice and to be in exchange with other authors about issues around writing. In the two-hour-long sessions, each teacher focuses on a specific, self-selected theme and, in addition to discussions, participants are invited to engage with their own writing. The workshops are aimed at different age groups and we invite everyone, from amateurs to scholars and professionals.
