Prague City of Literature Residency programme
The Residency Programme is for foreign writers and translators. This residency was created to support Prague's literary life, which was created in 2009 on the initiative of the Municipal Library in Prague and Czech Centers.
The main goal of the residency is to support the perception of Prague among residents and visitors as a place that inspires one's own creativity and encourages reading and interest in literature and books in general. One of the milestones of the project is the acquisition of the prestigious title "Creative UNESCO City of Literature" in 2014.
Residents must be working on their writings during the stay; however, nothing needs to be finished by the end of the residency. The residents' proposed projects must be themed around Prague - one of the criterias.
Residents are accommodated at the Kafka Residency in the town center. It is a fully accommodated apartment suitable for a writing residency.
