In preparation for the inaugural Ninawa Poetry Forum for Arabic poetry, a new cultural tradition initiated by Al-Noor University, to be held annually hosting Arab and Iraqi literati, a joint team from the Arabic Language Department and the college's media conducted an important meeting with a delegation from the General Union of Writers and Authors in Ninawa. Iraqi poets were suggested to participate in the forum, reading from their works representing various provinces of Iraq, as well as poets from the region, Syriac, Yazidi, and Turkmen poets. The Secretary-General of the Union presented a collection of literary books from the Union's publications to the library of Al-Noor University.
