WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

ULYSSES’ SHELTER: BUILDING LITERARY RESIDENCIES NETWORK is the third stage of a project co-funded by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) under the Creative Europe programme 2021-2027. The network of literary residencies has now been extended to seven European countries: Czech Republic, Croatia, Greece, Malta, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain and Wales in the United Kingdom, and collaborates with many institutions and NGOs in each participating country.

This call refers to the emerging authors (prose, poetry, translation) who can apply for one residency during 2022/2023. 

The residency programme addresses the international dimension as its priority by giving emerging authors the opportunity to work, perform and present themselves in different European locations. Each residency will be accompanied by a diverse supporting programme consisting of literature-related activities aimed at specific (local) target groups, such as taking part in literary readings, workshops, festivals and / or other literary-related activities.
