Literature-Exchange Initiative 2011

Fonte: Italian Institute of Culture Dublin

The Italian Institute of Culture – Dublin, in association with the Irish Writers’ Centre, is delighted to announce the launch of a Pilot Project: ‘Literature-Exchange Initiative 2011″.

On September 1st, a group of Italian writers, journalists, actors and academics will arrive in Dublin to take part in four days of cultural and literary activities. The main focus will be an event entitled ‘In Conversation With’ where the group will meet with Irish writers, both emerging and established, and explore common interests, concerns and traditions.

The objective is to foster literature links and exchanges which can be nurtured and strengthened in the coming years. Discussions are already underway for an Italo-Irish Literary Festival in the near future. The City of Nardo’, in a kind reciprocal gesture, has already invited a group of Irish authors to Italy for a similar cultural exchange in 2012.

We hope that this will be the first of many such events. Italian visitors will also experience traditional Irish hospitality, a literary walking tour and visits to some of the highlights that illuminate Dublin’s status as UNESCO City of Literature.
