Журналістика WorldWork - Стефі Бахмайр + Пенні Вотсон

WorldWork Journalism. Intimate. Co-creative. Public. Deep Democracy in action.

Since more then 2 years, we are exploring and experimenting with a new form of co-creative/ interactive writing called Worldwork Journalism. It combines the immediacy of the worldwork group process (depp democracy facilitation) with the reflective space of writing, followed by an invitation to a wider audience to join in, here on substack.

We will now go in a next round. There are still a few seats left. Interested?

The process’s starting point is a two-hour virtual session with a globally spread group of around 15 people. We will open a facilitated space for sorting the topic, and a group process, which then flows into individual writing prompts. These prompts will open the next level of a broader dialogue. They will be posted online where our group can continue unfolding the process.

Then we will invite others as readers and/or co-writers to add to the conversation. We will do this here on Substack, a ‘free-style journalist/everyday writers’ platform. This online interactive space will be actively facilitated over 2 to 5 days.

When

• 21st of Sept – 9 am Berlin (CEST) / 10 am Nairobi, Vilnius, Kyiv, Moscow / 2 pm Bangkok / 6 pm Sydney. Then bi-monthly (dates to be confirmed)

Please note that there will be a ‘lightsaving time change’ for some of us, so you might better check on your local time taking Berlin time as reference.

What you need to bring:

• interest in worldwork (the world’s burning issues)
• a curious mind,
• love for experimentation,
• interest in creative expression.

We cannot wait to step into this next worldwork endeavor, meeting people worldwide and co-creating dialogue inside out. This participation in this group of Worldwork Journalists is at no cost; so, book now to reserve your place!

Book your place here!

We are more than grateful to more than 70 pioneers (over the last 2 year) who walked with us through the four rounds co-creating 12 articles! The next group is currently constellating. We are proud of always having a beautiful diversity of participants – from Thailand, Kenya, Egypt, India, Australia, Finland, Slovenia, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, the US, Germany, Italy, Spain and Lithuania (and I am sure I did not mention them all) on board.

Apart from co-creating in this worldwork journalist group, we invite you to read and join the conversation тут.on Substack.  We are grateful for every contribution as it enriches our conversations and supports this tender plant to grow.
