13 - 18 май 2022 - Струга, Северна Македония | Май 2023 - Албания

Международната Академия за литературен мениджмънт и промотиране на превода е част от проекта Ускорител за балкански преводи / Balkan Translations Collider и цели да изследва начини за преодоляване на дисбаланса в потока на художествения превод в Европа.
 
Академията ще създаде общност от литературни мениджъри от Балканите и ЕС, които са отдадени на ролята си в международната литературна комуникация. Академията ще предложи инструменти, идеи и професионални контакти за ускоряване на по-малко превежданите литератури в днешния силно конкурентен свят.
 
Академията ще даде възможност на участниците да:
 

• Обсъждат и усъвършенстват концепцията за „промотиране на превода“ във всичките аспекти - от търсенето на читателя, геополитическите фактори, пазарната сила, до адекватни политики за подкрепа; 
• Представят и популяризират своята работа в международна атмосфера; 
• Да се запознаят с успешни истории и хората зад тях;
• Да изследват заедно тенденции и иновативни решения за промотиране на „малки литератури“ и да задълбочат собствените си инициативи и проекти;
• Да се запознаят с местната литературна сцена на държавите домакини; 
• Да създадат нови партньорства и да изградят трайна мрежа от съмишленици.

 
Академията ще обхване две 5-дневни сесии - една между 13 и 18 май 2022 в Струга, Северна Македония и втора през май 2023 в Албания, с кратки онлайн срещи между сесиите. При кандидатстването участниците е нужно да представят конкретна проектна идея, която ще бъде доразвита заедно с менторите между двете сесии и по време на дискусиите с международните участници. 
 
Програмата включва презентации, панелни дискусии и работилници по теми, свързани с работата на литературните агенти, общуване с издатели, модели за публична подкрепа за литературен „износ“, дигитални канали за промоция, ролята на фестивалите и книжните панаири, авторите и преводачите като агенти, работещи в международни партньорстра и мнгоо други.
