Opportunity to Join Residency of International Writers as Literary Ambassadors for Wales

For a fortnight in May 2025, Tŷ Newydd will home 14 European writers, who will collaborate creatively on projects around the themes of ecology, the climate emergency, society and people. All 14 writers will work in a minoritised language, and will work together to explore languages, landscape and communities.   

Nine writers will be selected from countries in Europe, and five from Wales. The Wales-based writers will use Welsh, or another minoritised language, in their creative writing practice. 

During the residency, a stimulating creative programme of talks, group workshops, discussions and field trips will be curated for the participants. The writers will also be invited to lead an activity for their co-writers. The residency will culminate in a sharing and networking event at Hay Festival 2025.
