In its fifth season, this monumental literature festival, organized by the Writers Capital Foundation and endorsed by the United Nations, is set to take place in January 2024, boasting participation from over 87 countries worldwide. Following the success of last year’s edition hosted in Spain and inaugurated by Mr. Stefanos Vogasianos-Roy, President of the World Philosophical Forum (Hellenic Branch), this year’s event is hosted by Greece. The festival, honored with the World Record as the longest-running multilingual literature festival, is dedicated to promoting humanitarian values, fostering cultural exchanges, and providing a platform for contemporary poets and writers from across the globe. The Writers Capital Foundation, dedicated to spreading the powerful values of humanity through literature, aims to facilitate cultural exchange and help writers expand their horizons. The signature program encourages writers to engage in cross-cultural communication, fostering discussions, and affirming the power of the written word.

The festival has previously explored themes such as Nature, The Void, Chaos, Air, and Breath. This year’s festival theme is ‘Fire, the Spark,’ exploring the dual nature of fire as a force for thought, passion, purification, and destruction.

Subject: The Fire

In the eternal dance of existence, the ancient symbol of fire stands as evidence of the dual nature of life: destruction and creation, chaos and order, despair and hope. The Panorama International Literature Festival 2024, titled ‘Agni: The Spark,’ draws inspiration from this dualism.

Fire as a deep philosophical concept

Fire, in its philosophical essence, represents the cosmic energy that fuels the universe, symbolizing life, knowledge, and transformation. Writers, poets, and storytellers are invited to delve into the wisdom of fire, creating narratives that echo the harmony of the universe.

The Spark of Unlimited Creativity

Within the flicker of the spark lies limitless creativity, igniting the minds of poets and thinkers throughout history. This festival encourages writers to explore uncharted realms of imagination, illuminating minds and hearts with the brilliance of their words.

The element of Fire as the danger resonating in global warming

However, the flames of the fire also reflect the dangerous turn that the situation on the planet has taken in our time. The same fire that ignites creativity poses a threat in the form of global warming. Through literature, we raise our voices against this danger, using words as a shield to protect our planet. The festival becomes a platform to spark awareness, meaning action towards the defense of our own planet for a sustainable tomorrow:

Flame as the Force that Ignites Passion Within

The essence of fire resides not only in the external world but also within each soul. It is the force that sparks passion, purpose, and love. Through the art of storytelling, we urge writers to tap into their inner flame. Let this festival serve as the catalyst that ignites the passions of both writers and readers. Write with fervor, empathy, and resilience, allowing your inner fire to inspire the world.

Embracing the dual nature of fire, we embark on a literary journey that bridges destruction and creation. With our words, let us transform destructive forces into avenues of creation, ignorance into knowledge, and despair into hope. The Panorama International Literature Festival 2024 transcends being merely a celebration of literature; it becomes a powerful ode to humanity’s enduring spirit in the face of challenges.

“We are confident that the festival will not only encourage intellectuals to delve into the deeper philosophical aspects of the element of fire but will also convey a global message about the importance of safeguarding our environment for future generations,” stated Preeth Nambiar, Founder, President  & CEO of the Writers Capital International Foundation and Chairman of the Panorama Festival.

“It will be particularly fascinating to hear contemporary thinkers express their views, as the subject extends beyond poetry to encompass philosophical considerations on a global scale, let it be through poetry, short story or speech. We are also immensely happy to get together in the live sessions where delegates will be able to meet their contemporaries and exchange views”  stated Irene Doura-Kavadia, General Secretary of the Organization and Panorama Chief Coordinator.

The Award Ceremony, scheduled for June 2024 in Athens, anticipates physical participation from representatives of Spirit and Culture from numerous countries worldwide.

PANORAMA IS NOT JUST ANOTHER LITERATURE FESTIVAL!

IT IS DESIGNED TO INSPIRE YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
