ECHOES – English Literary Week

ST PAULS COLLEGE has always believed in giving a platform to students who want to express their literary inclinations through various forms; this is what prompted the Department of English to organize ECHOES –The English Literary Week from 13-18 June 2022. The week comprised of various events like, Chart Making, JAM, Poetry in the Park, Industrial Visit, Creative Writing, Elocution, Ideology Debate, Literary Quiz, and Spelling Bee
The first day saw the submission of creatively crafted charts on the theme of literature and literary personalities. The second day was a red-letter day for the department as the students did an Industrial Visit to National Gallery of Modern Art, Vasanthnagar where they witnessed the prolific art of artist Maharathi from West Bengal ranging from ceramics to coal sketches, from fabric weaving to architecture and furniture design. This was followed by the event Poetry in the Park where students and staff accompanying them presented their poems. The artsy bandwagon then headed to Rangashankara, J.P. Nagar to understand how theatre spaces function as well as watch the play Imagine a Room. Creative writing and elocution competitions were held on the final day, besides the highly exciting Literary Quiz hosted by an efficient quiz conductor Ms. Elizabath Jansy.
The entire event was well coordinated and conducted by Ms Saranya Francis, Ms Samra Fuad and Ms Elizabath Jansy from the English Department.
