Any interested publisher/editor (acquiring or selling) can apply to take part in this networking event; however, priority will be given to publishers from the partner countries of the project: Belgium (Flanders), Croatia, Germany, Portugal, The Netherlands, and Slovenia. Up to 30 participants will be able to attend the session.
What do we mean by “inclusive books”?
Books, in which the plot, the characters, the illustrations, etc. feature diverse socio-economic or cultural background, gender, sexual preference or mental and physical (dis)abilities. By inclusive we mean literature that reflects and honors all readers regardless of their differences, whatever those may be.
