Learn about the latest trends in European literatures and languages, give voice to your crafty self and contribute to our multilingual wor(l)d-map with a word, a sketch or a drawing.
Come along and discover how, from finding the meaning of ‘home’ to giving purpose to feminist ambitions, we all have the power to shape and give significance to transnational movements.
