Among those invited were the managing director of DIU, Dr. Merle Emre, the former president of DIU, Prof. Dr. Irene Schneider-Böttcher, and numerous pat:ins, some of whom have supported the Writing Academy for years, such as Carsten Naumann from Sachsenenergie, Anne Mareck from WBS, and Katrin Reichel, a student of midwifery at DIU.
After a round of introductions, the guests were welcomed by Goethe (Dr. Wolf Wehner) and Schiller (Frank from the Writing Academy). Afterwards, the participants read self-written quotations by Goethe and Schiller and told about their experiences during the course. Afterwards, all nine books that have been created so far within the framework of the Writing Academy were presented.
The ceremony was accompanied by a camera team from Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk. You can currently still watch the Mdr Sachsenspiegel report in the Mdr-Mediathek.
