The 1st CADOS Writing Atelier is a hands-on, experiential training designed to help participants develop a structured yet flexible approach to writing while experimenting with different techniques and strategies.
During six weeks, participants will engage with their writing through interactive exercises, guided exploration, and collaborative activities, discovering how to shape their narratives, integrate their readers into their structure, and use mapping techniques to navigate their ideas. They will also explore reading as a tool for writing, refining their ability to scan, skim, and close-read texts while curating meaningful sources. With a strong emphasis on process, the Atelier introduces practical strategies for drafting, using emotions as creative fuel, and structuring writing sessions for maximum impact.
This training also opens space for participants to refine their revision skills, edit with purpose and clarity, and give and receive stylistic feedback—essential for academic and professional writing. It also serves as a space to recognize and overcome personal habits that hinder writing. As co-creators of a learning community, participants will exchange insights, challenges, and strategies while experimenting with new approaches and exploring how AI, including GPT, can support their creative and analytical processes.
Whether working on an academic paper, a research proposal, or a personal narrative, this atelier offers tools, insights, and support to write with confidence, clarity, pleasure, and purpose.
