Mission Statement
The Literary Circle is a special interest group of the Pakistan Cultural Association of Cambridge (the Association) whose aim and principles are as follows:
- Promote discussion on literary work including but limited to the following:
- Contemporary (Jadid) and Classical (Qadim) work from Eastern (Mashriqi) and Western (Maghribi) origin
- Current Issues
- Articles and columns published in the media
- An Organising Committee will be selected from the members of the Association on annual basis.
- The Committee will make sure that the literary work discussed does not contravene the wider aims and objectives of the Association while ensuring that any literary work is not rejected on the basis of its origin and there is no discrimination on the basis of race, colour, creed, gender, religion or belief.
- The Organising Committee will select topics and work for discussions. They will ensure that the literary work selected has relevance to the members of the Association. The discussion meetings will therefore include topics of interest for a wider range of members including children, women, youngsters and adults. All members of the Association will be eligible to take part in discussions of the Circle.
- The members of the Organising Committee will act as facilitators and moderators for discussions and ensure the quality of discussion.
