## What is Penana?

**At Penana**, one can meet and socialize with people who are passionate about sharing stories and ideas in any form of creativity.

**Penana** is made of stories, writing contests (collaborative creation), and various reading and social groups.&#x20;

One is not limited to just read or write, but participate in all kinds of creative collaboration. We believe creativity is limitless and can also be monetized!
