Scriptwriting at Westerdals now launches the writing project «SCHEHERAZADE’S NIGHT - words against virus.»
In our new, restricted lives our words are still our own. We will use them for reflection, play, consolation, inspiration and to rebuild our sense of community.
Over the next few - or many - weeks our students and teachers will contribute short texts in multiple genres. When the world reopens, we will share our collection in various ways.
