Today the International Writers’ Day is celebrated all over the world！
Every year, on March 3, we celebrate International Writers’ Day to honour the contributions of writers around the world. This day is a reminder of the power of words to inspire, educate, entertain, and to create a shared sense of humanity that transcends border and cultures.
As we mark International Writers’ Day 2023, it is an opportunity to reflect on the roles of writers in shaping our world. From novels and poems to essays and articles, writers have the power to influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions, and to challenge our assumptions about the world around us.
The theme for this year’s International Writers’ Day is the Power of Words, a recognition of transformative impact that writing can have on our lives.
Whether it is a book that transports us to another time and place, an article that educates us about a new idea, or a poem that moves us to tears, the words that writers create have the power to change the way we see the world
The power of words has never been more important as a means of connection, comfort and understanding during these challenging times of COVID-19 and economic crisis. As we seek to make sense of our shared experiences. writers are playing a vital role in capturing the complexities of this moment in history and offering hope for the future.
History
This annual celebration was first introduced in 1986, by the English PEN Club. Abbreviation of the club derives from English words “Poet, Eessayist and Novelist”, which are combined in the word “PEN”. Currently this club has evolved into a worldwide association of writers and journalists. It is the world’s oldest human rights organization and the oldest international literary organization.
Whether you are a writer yourself or simply someone who loves to read, take a moment to celebrate International Writers’ Day 2023 and the power of words to connect us all. Let us honour the writers who have come before us and inspire the next generation of wordsmiths to use their talents to make the world a better, more beautiful place.
