The LitLab (Literature Lab) is an initiative of the Department of Linguistics and Literature at the University of Bremen and is aimed at upper secondary school students. Through our programs, students come into contact with authors from different backgrounds and are encouraged to develop their creative writing skills under professional guidance and gain initial insights into literary studies.

“Even if it wasn’t Pauli, nobody should just get lost in a hat and not be looked for.” But how do you get someone out of a hat? Especially when time is of the essence, as the missing Pauli threatens to disrupt the peaceful world that exists within? The adults certainly can’t help. The two protagonists Pola and Elliot agree on this. And before they know it, they are already embarking on a crazy literary adventure in search of Pauli, who has disappeared in a hat. In a curious literary workshop with Lisa Krusche, Bremen pupils from Oberschule Ohlenhof and Oberschule an der Julius-Brecht-Allee accompany the two protagonists and immerse themselves in a fantastic world full of adventure and surprises.

The project is supported by the University of Bremen Foundation.
