Classical Literature of the WorldDescription: World literature is not well known in Canada and people have no idea how rich and valuable it is. WBB members come from different cultural backgrounds and as participants of this project, they would talk about the literature of their homeland in short presentations (15-20 minutes). Initiator: Nataliya Bukhanova

Guidelines
- It starts with a member coming up with the idea of a new project.
- He/she writes up a description of the project; just a paragraph of the basic idea, including how many are needed to execute it.
- Send the project idea to the WBB email address.
- We'll send out an email to all members, and post it on our website and blog, indicating that whoever is interested should contact the project initiator directly.
- And from that time, the project initiator is in charge. Some general rules:
- Each project is self-sufficient, meaning that members who join do all the work. WBB only provides the initial contact.
- WBB doesn't have the money or the resources to finance any of the projects. (We are working on developing some promotional material for WBB though.) The basic idea is that each member should participate with his or her expertise.
- For example, the Creative Writing workshop instructor is paid by the participants of the workshop. WBB does NOT subsidize it. The instructor graciously agreed to teach it. The Poetry Reading group is self-sufficient, too. They even donated some money from their proceeds to WBB to contribute to the creation of promotional materials for the whole organization.
