The aim of the project is, besides its’ purely humanitarian character, also to promote values of democracy and cross-cultural engagement. After five years of running fully functional Writer-in-Residence program in Serbia Krokodil has so far gained high national, regional and European credibility as well as sufficient experience for this step forward – towards establishing the first Writer in Exile program not only in Serbia but also in the region of the Western Balkans.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”5″ down=”5″][vc_column_text]The main objective of this project is to establish the very first Writer-in-Exile program in Serbia offering a mutual benefit for persecuted writers and their families on one hand and host community on another, in order to advance coexistence and understanding.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”5″ down=”5″][vc_column_text]The goal is to allow practical support to refugee writers, writers in political jeopardy and writers who are facing persecution or immediate, severe and targeted threats to their lives, personal and\/or artistic freedom in their home countries or countries of residence by providing them with the long-term sanctuary and financial help as an effective means for humanitarian and cultural activism, social integration and inter-cultural dialogue. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”30″ down=”30″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”30″ down=”100″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
