Collaborative Articles

Our journalists have different missions: write about Madurai, give information about what’s going on, spread cultural information but they are also very keen to meet local people and share their everyday work and experience with them. They are in touch with local children and students in Madurai. They are organizing creative writing sessions in different schools. They are also preparing articles written with Indian students in universities.

The articles presented on this page are therefore two-hand written: they are the meeting between India and the rest of the world.
