NORLA to meet Nordic colleagues in Helsinki

Representatives from NORLA’s staff will be attending a seminar with our Nordic colleagues – members of the NordLit network – January 21-23.
The employees at the Nordic literary offices meet annually, and this year the meeting will take place in Helsinki, Finland.

We look forward to exchanging experiences and future plans with our colleagues!

The Nordic literary offices all administer The Nordic Council of Ministers’ funding scheme for the translation of literature and drama from one Nordic language to another.
