Organizers :
The Union of Messinian Writers is a cultural association which was founded in 2000 and whose objective is “the promotion and development of intellectual creation of Messinian member writers”. Furthermore, it supports any effort targetting the development of all forms of artistic discourse, the preservation of folk traditions and that of Hellenic cultural heritage, especially the one deriving from Messinia and the general cultural development of Messinia. It takes part in any effort to create active citizenship at all levels, with an emphasis on the need for everyone, especially young people, to participate in local or wider social and cultural events.
The Union undertakes initiatives for the organization and realization of cultural events in collaboration with all local authorities but also with other associations, contributing into improving the quality of life of all Messinians. Among others, it invites annually prominent personalities of culture and literature, whose work is being hosted and presented in Kalamata. Through its active participation in artistic and overall cultural life, the Union supports art and culture in the region.
Finally, by means of its events and actions and also by published printed or electronic literary works, it contributes to the creation of motives and favourable conditions for the contact with books as educational means and for consolidating their role in the acquisition of education by promoting love for reading.
