During seven 90-minute virtual sessions, we will link two thematic universes: memory as a format of literary expression and plant life as a creative trigger. Each participant will create a memory map about significant moments in relation to plants; From the map, you will write a short literary memoir. We will analyze theoretical concepts that help to prepare texts, we will read literary creations aloud and we will receive group comments. We will do some activities outside of session hours: we will read examples of memories and we will review other didactic materials for the recognition of elements, structures and styles. Each participant will prepare a text, with a specific length, to present it in front of the group and receive feedback. We will end the workshop with reflections on the impact of nature on our lives and on our creative processes.
