Book in the Park is a collaboration project involving two publishers from Croatia (Ibis grafika) and Slovenia (Založba Malinc). Through the translation, publication, distribution and promotion of eighteen books, the goal of the project is to support the creation and circulation of quality literary works, especially the works translated form smaller languages, and make them available to a large audience in three European countries.

The project GG4A: Innovative Intercultural Reading Promotion promotes and contextualizes six high quality European literary works for young readers of minority and/or less known literatures, most of them written in lesser used languages. Dissemination activities in the project are based on research on reading literacy, which in digital times requires new tools to reach new audiences. To foster digital reading literacy they include the use of an interactive platform in which reading competence is linked to digital competence through gamification in previously prepared ludic activities that include competition, teamwork and creativity.

The project BIDILAND – Landscapes of Bibliodiversity promotes and contextualizes ten high quality European literary works for young and adult readers of minority and/or less known literatures, most of them written in lesser-used languages. Leading authors from the Basque Country, Slovakia, Holland and Romania will be translated into Slovenian and Slovenian authors into Spanish and Basque by renowned translators.

LIT-UP EU project aims at implementing, via training, webinars and events around Europe, competitive strategies to increase the skills of publishers and authors working with less used languages. This 3 year- project will provide strategies and tools to help publishers and authors participating in the project to compete with real opportunities of survival against big languages and players working in their own markets. A total of 8 partner institutions from across Europe, including Založba Malinc will together provide new ways of liaison by establishing a wide and strong network of publishers and authors in Europe.

Recently, various theories (Postcolonial, Feminist, Polysystem) radically changed the image of the World and European literature, pondering marginal, minority, peripheral and other overlooked discourses, which are crucial for the holistic image of the European culture. The activities in the project EBYR aim to establish the comparative frame of overlooked discourses in children’s literature, to emphasize similarities and differences in treating themes and motives, literary characters, forms and genres, but also reflections on their translation.
