Pakistan Writer Inter-Provincial Dialogue Forum |
Our Mission is to promote Inter-provincial, Inter-linguistic and Inter-cultural dialogue And to listen to each other! Pakistani writers inter-provincial dialogue forum (pwipdf) is a group of Pakistani writers and intellectuals comprising from all the four provinces of Pakistan. Our mission is to promote inter-provincial ,inter-linguistic and intercultural dialogue throughout Pakistan. We believe a passive ethnic, linguistic and cultural attitude in our country is not sufficient to achieve our ethnic, linguistic and cultural richness. We need to do more in this direction and with a better vision and a great speed. What we need to do is to try to learn about each other and struggle to understand our differences through active dialogue. In this process, we believe that one shouldn’t just try to express its own values but listen to and appreciate other values by accepting each other in their own position and conserving its own identity at the same time. This way we believe that, different linguistic, ethnic and cultural identities can live together in harmony in the federation by identifying each other through their differences and empathizing through their similarities, washing away the stereotypes and prejudices against each other. To reach to a mutual understanding to resolve our differences for a better future for our coming generations we need to initiate dialogue. Apart from every thing we a have lot in common .Through our collaborative efforts with diverse groups we seek to make a difference in our country by having a better understanding of our differences and sharing and appreciating our common values.
Dialogue is a must today, and the first step in establishing it, is forgetting the past, ignoring polemical arguments, and giving precedence to common points, which far outnumber polemical ones. Our primary goal is to build bridges of understanding, acceptance and trust amongst the four provinces by promoting dialogue between them to achieve mutual understanding to resolve our differences. We strongly believe in the federation of Pakistan and our Pakistan stands for all with equal rights, opportunities and common obligations towards our motherland. Long live Pakistan and long live its ancient motherland the Indus Valley. Activities: To fulfill its mission, PWIPDF is to organize/sponsor educational and cultural activities. Seminars, conferences, lectures, festivals, dinners, art performances at provincial and national level. Trips are some of these activities through which we seek to interact with members of diverse groups and share and appreciate our common values.
