including on behalf of the schule für dichtung:
jürgen berlakovich's lecture "sully media: the age of digital enlightenment"
(on his online class "sully media"/"sudelmedia" held at vienna poetry school in 2024)
"The contributions gathered here are rooted in the EACWP VII
International Pedagogical Conference, held in Paris in May
2025, where educators, writers, and researchers from across
Europe and beyond came together to exchange practices,
challenge assumptions, and imagine new futures for Creative
Writing didactics. What became clear during those days is that
Creative Writing education today is not a single tradition, but
a vibrant constellation of approaches, diverse in language,
method, context, and philosophy." (...)
