Creative Writing Course for Ages 16-20

A creative writing course for ages 16-20 runs in autumn 2026 at Malmitalo in Helsinki. The course is led by word artist Aamu Pulkkinen, who is also a debut author and musician.

Participants work on writing exercises in both poetry and prose. Personal texts are reviewed together - ideas are shared and constructive feedback is given. No previous writing experience is needed, but those with longer experience are also welcome. Bring your own writing tool: a laptop or pen and paper.

Course dates:
Thursday 3.9. and 17.9. from 17.00 to 19.00
Thursday 1.10. and 29.10. from 17.00 to 19.00
