Through the network Connecting Emerging Literary Artists, Passa Porta, together with deBuren and a group of international partners, is giving a boost to more than a hundred writers, translators and literary professionals from across Europe. They will present, challenge each other and together form the voice of young literary Europe. After a week of training sessions and new impressions, a delegation of this new class will present itself to you for the first time.
Connecting Emerging Literary Artists
Since 2017 Passa Porta has been a member of Connecting Emerging Literary Artists (CELA), a European network that gives emerging literary talent the chance to refine their skills and develop a network. In January, Passa Porta and deBuren will launch the second edition of this intensive development programme. Young literary talent from Flanders, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Serbia and Slovenia will meet in the heart of Europe.
360° view
Over the course of a week, prominent professionals from across Europe will offer the literary talents a 360° view of the fascinating world of literature through workshops and presentations. The various meetings constitute a fertile ground for new partnerships and future projects.
Young talent in the spotlight
On 16 January the young talents will take to the stage for the first time. Not only writers and translators of CELA will show what they can do. Six emerging literary professionals will put together a creative and challenging programme for you. Discover names you may not yet know today, but will undoubtedly come across again in the future.
Org. Passa Porta, deBuren, CELA
Connecting Emerging Literary Artists (CELA) is made possible in part thanks to the Creative Europe programme of the European Union and thanks to the Dutch Foundation for Literature.
