PEN is proud to present the BenettonTalk conversation series bringing
together an exciting group of young writers from around the world.
Through Fabrica, its research center on communication, Colors,
a magazine about the rest of the world, and the newborn BenettonTalk, a
website for global conversation, Benetton has provided major support to
social documentation and creative exchange. Benetton also has a
tradition of partnering with organizations like PEN, such as RSF, UNHCR, Witness and SOS Racisme,
which are committed to defending human rights and dignity around the
globe. PEN is grateful for this generous sponsorship and looks forward
to the following events.
