Owl Ahead!

As part of a nine-month “Creative Writing” project, SABA scholarship holders explored writing as a tool for and expression of self-development.

Guided by artist and writing coach Phyllis Kiehl and her assistant Julia Albrecht, the participants produced autobiographical and creative texts, and engaged in an intensive discussion process and exchange of views.
These were presented in May 2015 at the reading “Owl Ahead!” in the Weltkulturen Labor.

The SABA project enables young immigrant women and mothers aged between 18 and 35 to obtain higher-level school certificates and restart their educational careers. The SABA educational scholarships not only offer these young women an opportunity for personal and professional development, but also open up perspectives for an independent and self-determined life.
