The festivals will combine their efforts to create a fruitful alliance sharing resources, expertise and ideas, to reinforce the role of literary festivals and build audiences on a European and global level. The project aims to develop a shared approach to ascertaining the needs of readers in the digital era.
This project will include live streaming events to partner festivals, writers in residence, and a mini touring book fair.
During this two year partnership, the festivals will have the opportunity to share innovative ideas; Vilenica and Festival of World Literature have already adopted Cúirt initiatives Read Me I’m Yours and Kitchen Readings.
