Stories travel – but writers often don’t. Why do writers from different countries still rarely work together in European writers’ rooms? What happens when different storytelling traditions meet: Do they clash, or create something new? How can diverse cultural perspectives make stories stronger? Even though series are sold and streamed internationally, the creative process often stays within national borders.
This panel explores why cross-border collaboration in European writers’ rooms remains rare, and what happens when it does. Do different storytelling traditions collide or enrich each other? Join the discussion on the creative potential, cultural challenges, and future of writing beyond national borders in a truly international industry.
