## About this plan

If you love writing sci-fi, Cinemateca Bogotá opens its doors with a free workshop for teens ages 13 to 17. The program is part of 'Encuentros: Instrucciones para viajar al futuro', an invitation to look at the world through imagination and words.

Over four sessions, participants explore sci-fi from several angles: film, literature, science, and creative writing. Through film screenings, shared readings, and writing exercises, each person builds their own narrative universe, with worlds, characters, and conflicts born from their own questions and dreams.

The space also serves as a meeting point to think about the present and dare to write the future. If you love telling stories and want a different plan in Bogotá, this workshop might be for you.
