Olive Writers Club |
Hosted at the Faculty of Letters and Humanities Dhar El Mahraz, our very first Olive Writers Club is coordinated by our Editor and Publication Manager Haytham Chhilif, with Professor Fatima Amrani serving as the club's faculty advisor.
The Olive Writers Club provides its members with the opportunity to indulge their love for literature, writing and fiction. It is a space in which the students can improve on their writing skills, and discuss important matters regarding literature, writing, and society overall. The club constitutes a wonderful addition to the University of Dher El Mehraz in Fes as it is a sanctuary for many away from the purely academic atmosphere of the university.
In addition to creative writing workshops, the club offers other activities such as: debating, movie sessions with discussion, reading sessions, and discussion sessions on a range of different topics.
We are building on the Fes club experience to create two additional clubs in Casablanca and Tangier.
