Since its inception, El Hizjra initiates and facilitates lectures and debates on contemporary Arab themes. After three decades, we can only conclude that this mission still appeals to current issues within the Netherlands, also with regard to the Arab world. El Hizjra is also known for (inter)national projects, master classes for aspiring writers and workshops for pupils of primary schools and high schools. The annual El Hizjra writing competition, initiated in 1992, has become an acclaimed stepping stone to a successful (inter)national career for talented Dutch writers with a bicultural background.
