The Myanmar Writers and Journalists Association ((ビルマ語:မြန်မာစာပေနှင့် စာနယ်ဇင်းအဖွဲ့); MWJA) represents writers and journalists in Myanmar. At first closely associated with the Ministry of Information, in the 2011-2012 period the MWJA achieved greater independence. ==Early years== Myanmar writers formed an association on 8 March 1944, during British colonial rule. In November 1993 the Myanmar Writers Association was reconstituted as the Myanmar Writers and Journalists Association.〔 The Burmese writers established the MWJA with permission from the Ministry of Information.〔 The MWJA is a nationwide confederation with a central headquarters and associations or branches throughout the country.〔 The MWJA was started with a 25-member executive committee. It held its second conference in June 1997.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SOCIAL ORGANIZATION )〕 In its conference on 23 June 1998 the MWJA decided on three tasks. "The three tasks are: the association members are to actively participate in serving national interests by having ... the people imbued with correct concepts and high morale with the use of literature and journalism: to the extent organisation for new members consolidate organisational set-up of the association, raise leadership role and make organisation work dynamic and effective; to bring about improvement of skills of MWJA members, look after their welfare and regularize creation and publishing of literary works, and to strive for increasing the readership". The MWJA sponsors the annual Sayawun Tin Shwe Award named after the writer Sayawun Tin Shwe. It organises an annual book fair on Writers' (Sarsodaw) Day.〔 On this day the MWJA also organises lectures, talks and traditional gatherings of writers. At these gatherings junior writers show their respect for their seniors and make offerings in cash or kind.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Myanmar Writers and Journalists Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
