Open Call for supporting multilingual projects aims to support the regional diffusion of literary works from target countries. The purpose of this effort is expected to be for translation, in combination with presentation and promotion of regional literature. The support from this project will supplement and significantly scale-up the inter-regional translation of authors from Western Balkan and Turkey. The maximum amount of support for this call is 2.500€ per grant. The Action should cover costs related to translation, design and print, and promotion of regional literature. Supported projects will be encouraged to create synergies with our mobile library as well as the different festivals or even the residency program.

For our third open call for applications, the support will be given to 22 Civil Society organizations in Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey in order to increase access and awareness of literature beyond the national context. CSOs are very important for the success of this project, as they wield considerable influence in culture and society change.
