A two-day workshop taking place from the 15th September evening, to the 17th September early afternoon in Madrid, during the third European Writers Club camp Bridging Generations. Its aim is to help writers shape stories with the potential to create impact across borders.
With input from international acclaimed writers, producers, European broadcasters, streamers, sales agents, audience and format experts, this course aims to provide the participating writers/producers from Spain (Galicia and Madrid) with an insight to the current landscape for tv-series in Europe and introduce to some of the newest tools within audience design and format thinking.
This is not just about developing a project. It’s about understanding how to position your story in a broader conversation, where cultural identity and international relevance meet.
