Travel
There will be 3 journeys which will take place in the second half of October 2009 and will end in Istanbul at the time of the Istanbul Book Fair. So far, the route will be as follows:
1 Ljubljana – Zagreb – (via Belgrade) Skopje - Thessaloniki – Istanbul
2 Bucharest – Sofia – Thessaloniki – Istanbul
3 Sarajevo – Belgrade – (via Skopje) Thessaloniki – Istanbul
Istanbul will be the location where the three journeys will converge and where the journey participants will spend five days, meet young Turkish authors, explore the city and give readings. A second meeting will be organised in Istanbul in 2010, as part of the Istanbul European Capital of Culture 2010 events. In later stages, depending on additional funding, we envisage organising other events in the participating countries, including the UK.
