Qalam-Writings from UAE- was created by ADACH to nurture, encourage and promote creativity and talent for all Emiratis through the medium of writing.
With a vision that will enhance Abu Dhabi’s role as a pioneer cultural hub in the GCC and the Arab world, Qalam has set out to develop young local writers by promoting, distributing and publishing their literary works. All kinds of writing from short-stories, novels, plays and poetry will be showcased.
Qalam draws inspiration from the past and the present to illuminate the future. The development of a strong literary culture in which ideas and experiences can be explored and shared becomes the basis for greater mutual understanding and appreciation for future generations of writers and readers.
Qalam’s vision is to inspire young writers and showcase their work to a wider Arab audience throughout the Gulf. Qalam is committed to helping new audiences appreciate the wealth of literary talent in the UAE through the translation of selected works into international languages.
