Writing workshop “Mosaic of languages” at Neighbour’s backyard festival

“Dresden spricht…” Workshops, guided tours, writing and printing workshops under the motto “Language and writing. Dresden speaks many languages”

Laura, Brigitte and other committed people have established a tradition. They have been organising a small party in the courtyard of the Florian-Geyer-Straße / Elisenstraße neighbourhood in Dresden’s Johannstadt district every year since 2022. This year, there will once again be café and cake, barbecues and games. We will be there with the “Mosaic of Languages” writing workshop!

Over the past few years, we have repeatedly accompanied several initiatives and individuals as they get involved in their neighbourhood. You can read and listen to more about Laura, Brigitte and their neighbourhood in the report “Actually, you should ring every doorbell” (2023)!

Writing workshop “Mosaic of languages”

Everyone knows idioms and proverbs, regardless of their origin. These short phrases are a cultural asset that has often been passed down through many generations. They show how many things different cultures have in common and can teach us a lot about the lives of others.

What connects us more than shared experiences, for example at a street festival, in the neighbourhood café or in the cultural club around the corner?

We cordially invite you to take a seat at our table and take part in the “mosaic of languages”. Put these small word pictures together to form a large mosaic. The word pictures can be written or illustrated.

Das Projekt “Dresden spricht…” wird gefördert durch das Staatsministerium für Soziales und Gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt. Diese Maßnahme wird mitfinanziert mit Steuermitteln auf Grundlage des vom Sächsischen Landtag beschlossenen Haushaltes im Rahmen des Landesprogrammes Integrative Maßnahmen.
