The 36th Vilenica International Literary Festival, organised by the Slovene Writers’ Association and the Vilenica Cultural Association from Sežana, is taking place on 7-12 September under the title "‘Is fear simply the other side of courage?’, It is a response to our time, in which we find ourselves plunged by the pandemic into physical, as well as growing social and psychological isolation.
Since its inception, the Festival has focused on the gathering of writers from Central European countries and beyond, promoting dialogue in an area with a common history but cultural diversity.
On the occasion of the official opening of the Festival, on 7 September, the recipient of the 2021 CEI Award for Young Writers will be presented by CEI Deputy Secretary General, Nina Kodelja.
