## About this plan

If a story has been spinning in your head for a while and you don't know where to start, this plan is for you. The Creative Writing Lab is a free space in Bogotá built for people who want to write but have not found the way yet.

Each week the sessions offer hands-on exercises and readings that help you think about the craft of storytelling. There is no pressure and no skill levels. The idea is to explore freely, try new styles, and build confidence with the written word. It works as a solid entry point for the curious, for beginners, and for writers who have been at it for years and want to reconnect with the joy of creating.

The meeting point is the Carlos E. Restrepo Public Library in the Antonio Nariño area, a key cultural spot in southern Bogotá. Show up early, bring a notebook, and bring your enthusiasm.

- Hands-on writing exercises every week
- Readings that explore the craft of storytelling
- An open space with no pressure or judgment
- Free entry, no sign-up required
- Hosted at the Carlos E. Restrepo Library

## Who it's for

Great for the curious, for beginners ready to take a first step, for writers looking to reconnect with their voice, and for groups of friends or couples who want a different cultural plan in Bogotá.
