Zaproszenie dla pisarzy na rezydencję w Słowenii

Stowarzyszenie Slovene Writer’s zaprasza maksymalnie 10 autorów, w tym zarówno pisarzy, jak i tłumaczy literatury z języka słoweńskiego na język obcy, do udziału w czterotygodniowej rezydencji w Lublanie w Słowenii.

Stowarzyszenie Slovene Writer’s jest liderem projektu realizowanego w ramach programu Creative Europe pt. „Sharing the Wor(l)d”. Trzy festiwale realizowane dzięki projektowi – Vilenica Festival w Słowenii, Festival of World Literature w Chorwacji i Cúirt Festival w Irlandii – mają zachęcić do czytania i wpłynąć na wzrost liczby czytelników. Wśród działań kulturalnych zaplanowano zbiorowe czytanie literatury oraz wymianę doświadczeń. Festiwale literackie dostosowują się do współczesnych technologii, wykorzystując ich potencjał do rozwoju czytelnictwa.

Stowarzyszenie Slovene Writer’s to organizacja stworzona dla słoweńskich pisarzy. Jej celem jest powiększanie grona słoweńskich autorów, ich reprezentowanie, wsparcie oraz zachęcanie do swobody tworzenia słoweńskiej literatury. Od 1986 roku organizują ważne dla Europy centralnej wydarzenie – Vilenica International Literary Festival.
