The CADOS Writing Retreat helps participants make fast and significant progress with dissertation writing.
This immersive 1-day marathon invites researchers of any doctoral and post-doctoral program of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa to come together to sit and write, create accountability, and practice feedback in an atmosphere where distractions are minimal and support is plentiful. They learn how to structure, plan, and set realistic goals, reflect and resignify writing habits and practices, create accountability to make better sense of their achievements and practice a few strategies to jumpstart and optimize their writing.
As importantly, this Retreat is a chance for participants to learn more about themselves as writers. Thus, while they will spend time writing silently by themselves alongside other writers (akin to a library/café atmosphere), they will also be given the opportunity to be in a distraction-free, collaborative, and fully supported space to push their projects ahead and create a writing goals-wellness goals relationship.
