The workshop, taught by the journalist and writer Mili Rodríguez, will allow an approach to the fascinating topic of chance. We will work from texts from literature and psychology, but also from our own mysterious experiences of serendipity (a valuable discovery that occurs by chance), the so-called synchronicity or significant coincidences. 

Through group reading aloud and group comments we will approach authors such as Julio Cortázar, Carl Jung, Arthur Koestler, Jorge Luis Borges and Paul Auster.

Aimed at students and the general public.
