Route/Events
From the Adriatic and the Black Sea to the Bosporus, Word Express is taking literary creation across frontiers.
In October 2009, three separate groups are set out simultaneously from Ljubljana, Bucharest and Sarajevo. At every stop, they were welcomed by local young writers, took part in readings and workshops and explored the city, joined by their hosts and boarded the train for the next stop, finally converging in Thessaloníki from where the three groups took the final train journey to Istanbul
Route 1 Ljubljana – Zagreb – (via Belgrade) - Skopje - Thessaloniki – Istanbul
Route 2 Bucharest – Sofia – Thessaloniki – Istanbul
Route 3 Sarajevo – Belgrade – (via Skopje) - Thessaloniki – Istanbul
In 2010, the Word Express writers will meet again at several festivals
and meetings across Europe. Watch this space to read the latest.
