Writing retreats
finding the time, together
Join us to get your writing done, whether it’s a dissertation, book chapter, article for publication, project proposal or …. It should be some writing related to social learning.
You can still join us if you are writing in a language other than English – but you need to be able to tell us about your work in English and ask for feedback from synopses in writing or on video in English.

- Writing sprints: 2,5 hours of writing in the morning and 1,5 hours in the afternoon
- Check-ins: report out on (1) what you just did, (2) what roadblocks, concerns, or progress you experienced (3) what you are planning for your next writing sprint
