WORKSHOPS
All workshops are created and hosted through Kulturföreningen SKROT:
Kulturföreningen SKROT is an non-profit organisation that hosts activities with the goal of supporting artistic development and inclusiveness. Activities in several cultural areas for children, young, adults, elderly and people with different disabilities.
The activities include and/or should encourage:
Building of musical instruments
Play and movement
Exhibitions
Listening
Literature and writing
Kulturföreningen SKROTs various projects are gathered under the umbrella projects - Allas musik (Everyone's Music) and Allas ord (Everyone's Words).
Allas ord:
Activities about literature and writing. Especially in the form of workshops in poetry for different groups and with different themes. By emphasizing that everyone can write, think, read and be read, we create spaces for more people to express themselves with words.
Writing can be a tool for presenting opinions and different perspectives but also for creation for the sake of creativity itself. Poetry becomes an easier and more interesting way to share one's experiences and feelings on equal terms.
ABOUT CURRENT AND UPCOMING WORKSHOPS/PROJECTS:
Poetry in the Park-Write about Malmö:
Contribute with a word to a very long collective poem about Malmö!
A word can mean many things, especially when it comes to poetry. Everyone gets to choose their special word about Malmö and together we write a poem and eventually a book. Everyone gets to write, think, read and even be read.
A workshop that playfully encourages expressing oneself with words, to present opinions and different perspectives. The poem becomes a simple and interesting way to share one's experiences and feelings on equal terms.
In one of Malmö's parks, we write a poem with as many poets and perspectives as we can. There are no rights and no wrongs, just a poem about Malmö.
The workshop includes both individual and collective aspects. The individual will get to write a poem in a simplified way aswell as each person's contribution will be part of a larger poem written together. The collectively written poem will then be available for the public to read, emphasizing the message that everyone can write, but also that everyone should get the chance to be read. The overall theme of the poem is the city of Malmö, where the workshops are taking place.
Poetry in the Park is an open workshop where it is easy to participate at your own terms and abilities. It is a workshop that works for a broad group and can be adapted to the participant.
The workshop was carried out during the summer of 2025 within the framework of Malmö City's Cultural Right of Access project.
Poetry in the Park - Scary Poetry:
A simple poetry workshop for the whole family based on playful storytelling and chance. Cut out pieces of words are drawn at random and put together on a large, colorful piece of paper. Crafting with words. Together, you piece together small stories and beautiful phrases. In the end, you have a finished masterpiece through simple crafting. What the words mean is up to you!
The pieces of paper with horror and phobia themes are mixed with pictures to make reading easier for the youngest. We are there to help with introductory instructions, crafting, and putting up the finished poems to create a collection of scary poems for everyone to read.
The workshop will be held in Folkets Park Malmö as part of the activities during Skräckveckan (Horror Week) 2025.
