Medziriadky

Medziriadky is a literary platform that provides informal education and visibility for young writers up to the age of 26. Those who enter its literary competition may be selected for a summer residency, where they have the opportunity to further develop their knowledge of literature. Throughout the year, the platform also promotes the work of young writers through public readings. The aim of Medziriadky’s educational activities is to cultivate the literary talent of young people, provide emerging writers with guidance and direction, and complement the literary education they receive at school. The Medziriadky platform also supports young writers on their path towards their literary debut.
