Each year since 2015, the ENS de Lyon Language Centre organizes with CHEL[s], Creative writing workshops in French as a foreign language, supported by the Auvergne Rhone Alpes region and by the University of Lyon.
Led by the writer François Bon, these workshops are an opportunity for international students from the CHEL[s], to be interested in texts by French speaking authors for 2 intensive two-day sessions within the ENS de Lyon.
Participants are then invited to discuss, exchange and write their own texts in French, each at their own level. These workshops are an opportunity for them to take risks in their use of language, develop their skills and share their experiences.
