| − | [[Lirikonfest]] | + | [[Lirikonfest|Lirikonfest Velenje]] is a traditional year-round festival celebrating 21st-century lyrical and travelogue arts. Its main program is a literary meeting with international participation in Velenje (held in June or September), which has been organized by the [[Velenje Literary Foundation]] (UVKF) and the Velenika literary association, in cooperation with Slovenian and foreign partners, since 2002. For the first five years, it was known as the “Herbersteinian meeting of Slovenian authors with international participation.” |
| + | |||
| + | [[Lirikonfest]] Velenje (a “poetry retreat” and “festival of lyrical and travelogue sensibility”) has been dedicated to the presentation and popularization of 21st-century fine literature, its authors, translators, international intermediaries of Slovenian poetry/literature and language to other nations, Slovenian travelogue writers and essayists, organizers, editors, and other experts on Slovenian, European, and World literature for two decades. It establishes and broadens international literary collaboration, focusing on original and translated 21st-century poetry and contemplating the cognitive, cohesive, and critical role of literature in European society and beyond. Lirikonfest's literary roundtables feature essays and debates on contemporary European literary themes. | ||
