The discussion, which was moderated by Enjood Al-Hasawi, the President of the Arabic Literature Club, pointed out the differences between the types of literary writing, and the techniques used in each of them. The writers shared their writing experiences with students, and highlighted the social influences on each writing genre.

The Arabic Literature Club at the American University of Kuwait, currently led by Enjood Al-Hasawi, is a student organization interested in different aspects of the Arabic language and culture, such as Arabic poetry and literature. The main purpose of the club is to reveal the Arab identity, and practice the Arabic language at AUK. Most of the club events currently focus on Arabic literature and poetry. The Arabic Club aims to hold more cultural events that will include Arabic music and the hosting of famous experts in the Arabic language to share their experience and thoughts with the students. All events hosted by the Arabic Club are being done in association with the Arabic Department at AUK.
