Writer in Residence

The aim of the project is to enhance the awareness around the relationship between host and guest, and the exile experience.

This initiative will include ten guest writers. Over the course of the year 2008 each will be invited to Stavanger for a week. Each writer will visit schools in the community, educating and providing inspiration for interdisciplinary school-projects. Learning about each writers homeland, production, situation and experiences, we aim to create a dialogue that we hope will prove rewarding for both the pupils and writer.

At the end the week the writer will meet a greater public when taking part in readings, discussions and other literary events.
