3. This year, moreover, the literary competition will be connected to
an International Event named “WOMEN: WRITING AND
EXCHANGING IDEAS”. This event has been attended by Catherine
Refabert, President of the International Inner Wheel in 201112,
whose presence is a great honour for the Clubs of Turin. Two
different complementary ways have been thought to give voice, on
one hand, to female writing through the Literary Prize and, on the
other hand, to a debate on women’s position in Europe and the
role of Inner Wheel. That subject is to be analysed during the
International Colloquium “WOMEN FOR EUROPE 4 – THE ROLE OF
INNER WHEEL TOWARDS EUROPE 2020”, organized within the
International Long-term Project “WOMEN FOR EUROPE – THE
ROLE OF INNER WHEEL”, started in 2008 by IW Club of Naples
Luisa Bruni, Italy.
