We are bombarded daily and constantly with news, so many that they can overwhelm us mentally. At other times, we want to share our personal thoughts on social media platforms or present events and actions in which we participate.

Such occasions highlighted the value of MAKE (N)USE workshops for writing texts. With the appropriate and necessary theoretical background, we understood the basic elements of the news/articles/posts we read and learned gradually how to shape a corresponding text according to the medium and purpose we had in mind. Without a doubt, creating and discussing the texts written by all participants was very interesting. We exchanged ideas about their impact and possible improvements.

n conclusion, I believe that I have acquired some initial tools and advice that I can keep in mind when it comes to writing a text, whether more narrative or informative, taking into account the purpose of creation but also the audience to whom it will be addressed.
