Literature for Inclusion, established in 2017 by Gulabuddin Sukhanwar at the House of Literature in Trondheim, Norway, champions the cause of bridging cultural gaps and enhancing social integration via the universal appeal of literature, art, and music. Aimed primarily at connecting immigrants with the local populace in the Trøndelag area, the initiative underscores the importance of mutual understanding and integration through shared cultural experiences.[1] [2]

Among its diverse activities, "Literature for Inclusion" orchestrates literary festivals, creative workshops, and educational lectures. These endeavors strive to cultivate an inclusive atmosphere where stories and experiences are exchanged, fostering a community that values diversity and cultural enrichment. Workshops like "FINDING HOME" delve into the intricate relationship between identity, language, and the concept of 'home,' facilitating profound discussions among participants from varied backgrounds, including immigrants, Norwegians, students, and academics[3][4].

Events like "Poetry without Borders" offer platforms for poets and writers to share their works, fostering a dialogue between the arts and societal themes such as migration and identity[5]. Additionally, the initiative engages in discussions on critical topics such as feminism in Iran, highlighting its commitment to a wide array of social issues and the empowerment of diverse voices[6]
