About this event

- 16+ only
Join us on a creative writing course for ages 16–20 at Malmitalo in autumn 2026!
On this course, we carry out some inspiring writing exercises together. We explore both poetry and prose by writing our own poems and texts. We discuss our writing, exchange thoughts and give each other positive and constructive feedback on our work.
You do not need to be an experienced writer to take part in the course, but you can also have a background as an amateur writer. For this course, you need to bring your own writing equipment: either a laptop or a pencil and paper.

Writing is a good way to process your own feelings and thoughts, or to relax and clear your mind. Writing is often fun in a group, as it gives you a chance to chat about everything writing-related with like-minded people.
The course is instructed by literary art instructor Aamu Pulkkinen. She is also a debut author and a musician.
