From Laughter to Goosebumps: When Children Bring Stories to Life

At the Gerthe branch library, on October 27, 2026, imagination turns into real literature. In the writing workshop From Laughter to Goosebumps, children and teenagers develop their own stories, characters, and surprising twists – blending fine humor, thrilling goosebumps, and plenty of creative energy.

From the First Idea to Your Own Story

The desk becomes a stage, the pencil the director, and a small thought the main character. Under professional guidance, texts in the genres of adventure, fantasy, crime, and everyday life are created. It's not the perfect wording that counts but rather the individual voice – and it’s allowed to think outside the box.

Creativity Without Stress of Grades

The writing workshop offers space for imagination, exchange, and practical tips from writing practice. A maximum of seven participants between 10 and 16 years old work together on their ideas. This fosters a personal comedy atmosphere, curious audience reactions, and that special moment when a punchline suddenly turns into a whole scene.

Stand-up in the Mind, Stage in the Heart

Even though no classic comedy show with microphone and spotlight is created here, there is a lot of stage feel in the stories. Timing, dialogues, surprising punchlines, and strong images bring texts to life. Those who enjoy writing, reading, or simply want to know how a story goes from laughter to goosebumps will find the perfect creative playground here.

A Holiday Program with Genuine Laughter Experience

The event is part of a writing workshop during the autumn holidays. The texts created will be presented at a public closing event on October 30, 2026. Thus, a holiday idea grows into a real literary experience with a reading stage, exhibited manuscripts, and space for exchange with author Kristina Dunker.

Conclusion: Stories That Last

Visitors can expect a varied morning full of imagination, wordplay, and creative discoveries. Anyone who wants to experience young authors developing their own stories should not miss this special literary and comedy experience in Bochum-Gerthe.
