Slovene Pavillion at Expo 2010 Shanghai featuring Herman Potočnik Noordung, Starck with Riko, Primož Trubar and World Book Capital Ljubljana 2010, with contributions by Oskar Kogoj, Matej Andraž Vogrinčič, and Slavoj Žižek
Through the Book and the City events the citizens of Ljubljana will be encouraged to change their habits and read more (reading corners, public readings ...). Some of the capital's most ambitious publishing projects are dedicated to the works of Boris Pahor, Svetlana Makarovič and Slavoj Žižek, one of the best and most notorious yet perhaps not widely read or understood Slovene authors.
Until March 2011 Ljubljana Urban Municipality will work on the Ljubljana Resolution on the Book, proposing to UNESCO the improved measures for the public funding of books. The resolution will be presented at the world congress Books as Promoters of Human Development (held from 31 March to 1 April 2011). It will address the challenges of digitisation for the publishing industry and the aspects of translation from the world's minor to major languages.
Several publishing projects accompany the presidency in order to encourage the citizens to buy and read books as well as to enhance the role of culture in their everyday lives. In the frame of the Ljubljana Reads project every pupil will receive a book by a Slovene author as a gift, and 21 selected titles with a print run of 8,000 copies (available for purchase for as little as 3 Euros per copy), are to be published within the Books for Everyone project.
The World Book Capital in Ljubljana will be accompanied by a newly established bimonthly cultural newspaper Pogledi published by Delo Publishing House. It is the leading (and, in fact, the only) printed media in Slovenia dedicated to the arts and culture. Its planned print run is 60,000, to be distributed as a free supplement to the main Slovene daily Delo Newspaper till Autumn. In the future Pogledi are expected to become a sustainable cultural newspaper.
Within the capital framework a new venue is due to open in Spring 2010 in the very centre of the city. It will serve as a cultural and intellectual centre with a book club, exhibiting space and information point.
Culture.si offers information on Slovene cultural producers, venues, festivals and support services, all in one place. It encourages international cultural exchange in the fields of arts, culture and heritage. The portal and its content is owned and funded by the Ministry of Culture, funded by the European Union Recovery and Resilience Plan and developed by Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory.
