The workshop "Story in Poetry, Poetry in Story - Tell and Thus Change Your History" will cover a few topics.

After a selection process, our editors have carefully chosen 75 short stories, with 25 distinguished tales from each of the countries of Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia.

Extremely positive energy at the discussion evening of united vulnerable groups. For the accessibility of culture to all, without restrictions, without barriers, without exclusions.

Is the accessibility of media content for these groups improving, or do they remain excluded and marginalized?

Meet our content editors: selectors of contemporary short stories. They will choose the best tales specially written for this project.

Next year there will be a mobile application Slavic Soundwalking (SSW) that will have short stories by Slovenian, Croatian and Serbian authors accessible through audio and sign language. It will be activated based on geolocation and free of charge, accessible on public areas in Ljubljana, Zagreb and Belgrade.

The initial meeting for the Slavic Soundwalking project recently happened in Zagreb, starting a new chapter for this creative endeavor. Partners from Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia gathered to discuss and define the direction of a project that merges narratives, technology, and the act of walking.

Slavic Soundwalking is a two-year literary and multimedia initiative that bridges the principal cities of Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia through mobile application. This project aims to spotlight and promote South Slavic literature and language while also fostering cultural collaboration among these neighboring countries.
