The European Writers Club (EWC) has launched an inspiring initiative titled “Bridging Generations: Connecting Audiences,” aimed at fostering cross-generational storytelling within the European television industry. This program encourages teams of experienced writers—both young and old—to collaborate on original TV series concepts, bringing fresh perspectives through innovative storytelling.
Program Overview
EWC selects 6 to 8 teams from various European countries, each at the early stages of developing a TV series concept. These teams are set to participate in three immersive camps across Europe:
- Camp 1: April 7–11, 2025, in Brignogan, France
- Camp 2: June 9–13, 2025, in Malmö, Sweden
- Camp 3: September 15–19, 2025, in Spain (city to be confirmed)
During these camps, teams will develop, test, and refine their projects, transforming them into concepts ready for commissioning. The program also explores adapting each project into other formats, such as games, web series, podcasts, feature films, and social media content.
The initiative invites teams of writers with a minimum age gap of 10 years to apply. EWC provides an online matchmaking platform to help writers connect and form teams across Europe. The selection process will consider factors such as the age gap between writers, experience, diversity, cross-generational potential, and involvement from broadcasters or producers. Selected teams will receive remuneration of €3,000 for each writer.
The primary goal is to develop impactful, engaging TV series concepts with the potential to resonate across European borders and generations. By fostering collaboration between creators, writers, broadcasters, and producers, EWC aims to boost creativity and originality in storytelling, uniting European talents and audiences.
