Each conference has a main theme. The theme for the 2026 edition is POWER – resilience and driving force, focusing on how literature and literary mediation can provide strength, resilience, and inspiration for children, young people, and professionals.
Ellen Hogsnes and Andrine Pollen will be participating. On Wednesday February 11, Andrine Pollen will lead a conversation with the German translator Meike Blatzheim about language and translation and the differences between art and artificial intelligence.
