Moroccan PEN was established in 2005. Since its establishment, the Centre has held a number of seminars notably on ‘Power, Society and Intellectuals’. Through such events seeks to explore the role and responsibility of the writer and intellectual in society.

The Centre has planned further seminars looking to examine the crisis in reading and the relationship between readers and writers, that it hopes to follow with a series of workshops to bring the world of literature to people who are not engaged with the written word.
