The University of Stories is back!
Do you have a story itching to be discovered? It’s time to bring it out into the open!

The competition that transforms words into emotions, stories into performances, ideas into voices is back.
If you are a student with a passion for writing (or simply love storytelling), this is your chance: from diary to stage, the step is short!

Writing first
The 10 best stories will be selected by a jury of experts and refined in a two-day workshop on January 24 and 25, 2026, from 9 to 6 pm in Trento. A creative workshop to give final form to your story with writing professionals.

Then the theater
The finalist stories will come to life on the stage of Sanbàpolis, in three evenings open to the public, April 14, 21, and 28, 2026, where words meet the stage and young authors become protagonists.

SUBMIT YOUR STORY BY JANUARY 8, 2026.
