NORLA is participating in a translation seminar at the Université de Strasbourg on March 26-27. The seminar is organized by the National Library of Norway’s research project “Producing Norwegian World Literature in a Time of Rupture, 1900-50”, which is often referred to as MAP.
We are very pleased that Norway will be the Guest of Honour at the world’s largest children’s and young adult book fair, the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, in 2026. Norwegian children’s and young adult literature is rich in both expression and genres and addresses a wide range of themes that engage readers of all ages. The Guest of Honour programme offers a unique opportunity to showcase this breadth and bring our stories to the world.
NORLA wishes to contribute to the recruitment of more translators of Norwegian literature. We invite interested candidates to apply for a seminar for new translators, to be held in Oslo from 22–25 April 2026.
