The Satka.Lab Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Education, Art and Culture is launching with an original course offered by Anna Kychakova, a Yekaterinburg-based text editor, proofreader, and media research assistant. The course focuses on how to write non-fiction texts, from social media posts to sci-fi books, easily and creatively. The first lecture of the project will take place on September 2, at 5 p. m., in the Art-Satka Creative Public Space.

- According to the organizers, the lecture will be open to everyone interested in the topic: young correspondents from high school-based and university-based press centers, journalists working for professional periodicals, bloggers, and other people who are venturing into different writing genres, including through social media. - There are no age limits, but the number of seats is limited. Those wishing to take part in the event will therefore have to register in advance. This can be done by sending a personal message in VK.COM, by calling (35161) 95 4 05 or +7 919 332 42 55, or by completing an event participant form.
