The project aims to promote the practise of writing in public spaces, focusing on mentoring young talented writers and preparing them to enter the publishing world. Special attention will also be given to helping writers get to know each other, both literary and cultural professionals from other fields, and bringing them to a wider audience.

What the residency offers
Travel expenses up to 300 EUR (up to 650 km, use of train or bus is compulsory, except for the people with disabilities), accommodation, and allowance for daily expenses (40 EUR/day).
What to expect from the residency
Everyone should enter the residency with a clear calendar and a clear head. During this time, there will be alternating intensive drills and free time dedicated to writing. The aim is for writers to get to know each other and co-create, and for literary artists to collaborate and co-create with artists from other fields.
