ICORN Network meeting in Brussels March 2011
During the ICORN meeting the participant will be able to attend several interesting and inspiring sessions. The meeting will take place at the major KVS theatre, together with PEN International's Writers in Prison Committee (WiPC) and Halma, a network of 26 literary centres in Europe. Additional to the separate ICORN sessions, we are cooperating with WiPC and Halma on workshops and common opening event, to make the programme even more exciting and fruitful.
In addition to an exciting programme the meeting will coincide with The Passa Porta International Literature Festival (festival theme: “On the move”) and our guests will therefor have the opportunity to attend festival events.
