Another highlight of the activities was a writing workshop that took place under the direction of the renowned Bachmann Prize Birgit Birnbacher. Ten talented young people took the opportunity to work together on their texts and to receive valuable feedback from the author. "The writing workshop was totally inspiring and even exceeded my expectations," enthused Inja Kargl, a participant from Linz. This creative meeting took place in the HAK/HTL Freistadt library and should not only support the young talents professionally, but also humanly. The Brigitte-Schwaiger-Gesellschaft plans to make the work of the young people accessible on their website, to further promote their literary work and to make it visible, as reported.
