European Literature Night is based on the idea of literature as a unique creative tool reflecting a significant dialogue between single voices and cultures as well as a platform for cultural exchange helping to break down communication barriers. The project aims to contribute to the intercultural dialogue by offering the platform to European countries to present their contemporary writing in new translations. A series of public readings performed by famous celebrities will take place during a single evening at attractive venues of a European city combining contemporary texts, attractive venues, high-quality performers.
The project as a non-profit event contributes positively to the local community development and urban revitalization. It involves active participation of public institutions and organisations residing in the city district where the project takes place and contributes largely to the reputation of the city and its creativity.
