Translation in Motion

Translation in Motion aims to increase the flow of literary translations from smaller European languages within the EU and the Western Balkans, and develop the infrastructure, capacity and skills that support literary translations to reach the market.

The project is a cooperation between nine organisations (one European network, 4 literary organisations from the Western Balkans and 4 from the EU) and several associated partners that aims to contribute to a lively and balanced flow of literary translations across contemporary Europe.

We recognise literary translators as ambassadors of cultural dialogue and as key players in the mutual enrichment of European literatures. The project offers literary translation residencies to translators working with languages of the Western Balkans, translators training, a European-wide mapping of residency opportunities, policy events, and a multitude of public events dedicated to the art of translation.
