CELA
Connecting European Literary Artists
It's often difficult for European literary talent to expand beyond national borders. With this challenge in mind, a consortium of innovative literary organisations from across Europe came together to launch a talent development programme that would reinvigorate the European literary landscape. They named it Connecting European Literary Artists, or CELA.
Under the coordination of Dutch literary agency Wintertuin, the project's vision proved to be perfectly in sync with TrueMotion's mission to help organisations looking to revitalise the European cultural scene.
TrueMotion not only helped set up the project design, we also secured three subsequent grants from the Creative Europe Programme – Large-scale Cooperation Projects strand.
The partnership continues to this day, delivering great value to writers and translators alike.
“BECCA helped us a great deal in crystallizing our plans for our first and second Creative Europe application for CELA. To this day, BECCA stays involved in our project, which we value very much.”
