Writing workshop – for young people
Creative writing with AI: Storytelling in the age of artificial intelligence from 12.05.2025 to 16.05.2025
Are you ready to push the boundaries of your creative writing skills and explore the next level of storytelling?
Do you want to find out how artificial intelligence (AI) can add a new dimension to your creative vision?
In this writing workshop, you will learn about common AI applications for writing and how you can integrate them optimally into your creative process.
As a playful introduction, you can first use the AI as a writing partner. You can start with short stories and the chatbot will help you develop characters, plot and dialog.
The immediate feedback from the AI allows you to improve the stories, constantly reflect on your writing process and thus refine your writing skills.
This workshop is sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia as part of SchreibLand NRW, an initiative of the Literaturbüro NRW, supported by the Verband der Bibliotheken NRW.
