A new generation which never lived a day before Central Eastern European transitions is now showing its more important appearance in today’s cultural publicity. The main aim of our Association is to expand our traditional Summer Literary Course into an international cultural camp by organising workshops for the youngest literary generation of the V4, and also start to run a series of presentations in the V4 countries, which will end with the publication of a multi-language online brochure.

This year’s Summer Course will be partly dedicated to the memory of the Central Eastern European political changes of the 80s and 90s. – Those years are significant part of the current history of all the V4 countries; the events, the political and social changes of the last 25 years proves that these countries are still learning how to deal with the memory of a past regime and with the chances of today’s world order. – During the Summer Course and during the presentation period the youngest literary generation of the V4 countries can share their experiences and thoughts with each other, and also with the older generations, to create an actual picture of how we see the last 25 years of this area.
