OUR MISSION : PROMOTE LITERATURE

Our association was founded in 1927 and today is known under the name :

"Société des Ecrivains d’Alsace, de Lorraine et du Territoire de Belfort".

Its primary goal is threefold :

    1. Serve as a link between writers of Alsace, Lorraine and Territoire de Belfort,

in an effort to decentralize literary creation, with an open spirit towards the

admission of authors living in Europe and interested in or inspired by our

North-East region.

    2. Facilitate contacts and mutual support between its members.

    3. Encourage and foster literary creation.

On October 12, 1986 the"Société des Ecrivains" acquired a European dimension.

Hence the addition of the terms "Association à vocation européenne" to its title.

Its archives are kept at the Municipal Archives of Strasbourg.

The Association has no continuance limits.

Its headoffice is situated in Strasbourg at the following address: 

Société des Ecrivains d’Alsace, de Lorraine et du Territoire de Belfort
