Planet Hope (New European Fiction) (PH)

Planet Hope – New European Fiction (PH) – a literary translation project that promotes transnational translation and circulation of quality/awarded European works of fiction for three different target readerships (children, youth and adults), mainly from lesser/underrepresented languages. Two are translations from Ukrainian into Macedonian. One book will be printed in Ukrainian and made available for Ukrainian refugee children in North Macedonia. The project focuses on relevant, cross-cutting issues that concern our society and our planet, especially when aimed to those that represent its future – the youth.

The project includes 5 partners and involves translation/circulation of 16 books divided by: age: children, youth and adults; cross-cutting themes: a. human rights, gender equality, feminism, freedom, b. inclusion, acceptance of differences and c. environmental awareness. We’ll conduct specially designed activities and promotional campaign tailored for each target group, using specific language and images.

Our goals: for youth – to contribute in creating socially and environmentally aware young people that will be able to make a difference as future adults; for adults – to promote books that speak loudly and bravely about the important themes, that look into the past and teach us how to improve ourselves today: how to heal, how to overcome differences and how to act together for better future.

The project involves mobility of European authors, including 2 Ukrainian authors. We plan extensive, tailored activities: literary evenings, debates, discussions and Q&As, book clubs, creative workshops, readings, translators round tables – in unique cultural spaces, high schools, schools, libraries, creative centres, bookstores, parks. We expect the project to be successful in terms of transnational promotion of New European books, promoting European cultural and linguistic diversity and heritage, and recognizing social and environmental cross-cutting issues.
