Berlin Stories 2026 — the student writers-in-residence
Be part of the 2026 appointment of the new student writer-in-residence!
The “Berlin Stories” program, created by Kulturwerk des Studierendenwerk Berlin, offers students a platform to process life and observations in the big city through literature.
The Berlin Stories Blog provides insights into previous texts, which can often open up new perspectives on young Berlin today. The current writer-in-residence Alexandra Zysset will read from their final project during the reading and hand over the baton to the new writer-in-residence, who will provide insights into their work for the first time. Be excited!
Theresa Brehm and Lucie Frahm from the Kulturwerk des Studierendenwerk Berlin will modera the evening.
