## About this plan

If you like to write and feel curious about Bogotá's memory, this writing lab at Biblioteca Pública Usaquén Servitá is for you. The session starts with everyday objects, photos, and personal memories, then turns them into short stories where each item speaks about a neighborhood, a family, or a time period.

During the meeting you will practice narrative voice and personification as tools that make a common object work like an archive of urban memory. The plan is free and built for people who want to write from what is close to them and explore the city through its things.

- Creative writing starting from objects and memories
- Urban memory and narrative voice
- Personification as the main tool
- Free entry with prior registration

## Who it's for

People over 14 interested in creative writing, in Bogotá's memory, and in the neighborhoods of Usaquén. No previous experience needed.

## Tips

- Arrive 15 minutes early to find the room and check in.
- Bring a notebook and a pen, even though the space usually has basics.
- Think ahead about an object with a personal story you want to bring to the session.
- Check available spots and prior registration at Biblioteca Usaquén Servitá.
