FELLOWSHIP NOVI SAD 2023

The Cultural Centre of Vojvodina “Miloš Crnjanski ” is preparing the realization of the second “Fellowship” festival, which was held last year for the first time in Serbia, more precisely in this part of Europe.

“Fellowship Novi Sad” is an international literary festival within the Program of Expert Meetings, which, by creating an international platform, enables domestic writers and publishers to collaborate with foreign editors, publishers, translators and writers. Scholarship Program – A program of professional gatherings that enables literary experts from all over the world to meet their Serbian colleagues in their fields, share ideas and experiences, and start new projects. Along with the program of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia, it is significant in helping translate significant works of Serbian writers into world languages.

Based on last year’s experience and very successful cooperation with nine participants from numerous countries, this year we will host as many as thirteen representatives of global publishing houses from North Macedonia, Poland, France, Turkey, Finland, Iran, Egypt, Great Britain and the United Arab Emirates. On this occasion, we are preparing an even richer program, which will be available to the public on our website:
