Renate Welsh und ihre Schreibwerkstätten – ein Plädoyer für ‚kreatives Schreiben‘ im Deutschunterricht

Abstract

Renate Welsh-Rabady understands her creative writing workshops as a sort of "midwife care" for creative writing, both autobiographical and personal, of young people and adults. From the didactical perspective of writing, the workshops can motivate pupils to enrich their writing competencies. A positioning of creative writing workshops in the context of competence-oriented German lessons is attempted, in order to encourage the development of interpersonal skills as well as writing skills.
