Workshop "The art of adequacy: How to write a strong motivation letter"

Whether you would like to apply for an educational program, participate in a professional contest, or earn a grant, a motivation letter is a pre-requisite. Seemingly undemanding, this genre may prove to be challenging because of somewhat vague requirements. This workshop will guide you through the process of writing a strong motivation letter from making sense of what is asked of you to planning and structuring your text. You will look at both strong and weak examples of motivation letters, practice making choices about language and structure, and take away strategies and tips. Join us to beat your competitors at this game!
