Writing Group
The aim of a writing group is to make writing less lonely, to establish fixed writing times and to create space for exchange about writing. This is why the Writing Lab at the HWG Ludwigshafen organizes a writing group every semester, in which between 3 and 10 people who are currently writing a term paper or thesis can participate. In approximately two-hour meetings, which take place online or on site as required, goals are set, written together and at the end questions are clarified, feedback is given and the achievement of goals is checked.
The writing lab also supports groups of students who would like to set up a writing group.
The current writing group will meet online every Monday and Thursday from August 7, 2025. If you are interested in joining, please contact the writing lab by email.
