Welcome!

We think everybody is creative enough to come up with good texts.

Underneath you can see a subject and you can write down your ideas, texts or one-liners.
Let your imagination work and try to put it in a text. Mail today. Usually tomorrow or the day after that it will be on this page, for inspiration to other writers.
Every month we will choose texts from the proposal-list and put them on this page, lay-outed as posters. You can print them and spread them.

The subject on this page will then be replaced for another one.

Good luck!

Culture shocks

BANG!! Just like that it can hit you in to your face. Abroad in the middle of another culture or even in your own country. Moving permanently to the other side of the world to work, meeting Jehovas witnesses in front of your own door, interrailing around Scandinavia, getting to know your schoolmates from different cultures, or sometimes just talking to your neighbour or granddad. It can make you low, angry, frustrated or sad. But it can also be a very positive experience and you can learn a lot from yourself and other people. How do you react to foreign cultures? Did you ever have a culture shock? How did you cope with it? Did you learn something from it?
Try to play with your senteces and words to find a new point of view or creative way to see culture shocks. Have fun!
Good luck with writing!
