SchreibXplosion – Writing, Publishing and Discovering New Perspectives
Thursday, 5 November 2026
Oerlikon Campus
What makes a text impactful, and how can we write without letting stress take over? SchreibXplosion at the University of Zurich invites participants to explore academic and creative writing from different perspectives, discover new ideas for their own writing practice, and reflect together on the significance of texts, quality and creativity.
An evening full of inspiration, practical tips and stimulating discussions for everyone who writes, publishes or simply enjoys the art of language.
We look forward to welcoming you to our events.
