Tales for Europe's Youth: Communication plan

January 2008 – January 2010 and onwards: Contact with reading groups across Europe: book clubs, online forums, readers' blogs, university societies, literature and culture departments
March 2008 – January 2010 and onward: Contact with Bulgarian and European media and cultural institutions (incl. embassies and consulates)

In particular, we are relying on:
●	our Project Manager's connections with other alumni of United World Colleges, most of whom are active in the areas of culture and transnational collaborations; some have already become an active part of the translation and communication teams, providing consultation on various linguistic and cultural issues
●	the partnerships of InfoDAR with other publishing houses in Europe, such as Ueberreuter (Gemrany), Rottensteiner (Austria), Templar, Carlton Books (UK), and their respective distribution networks;  participation in international Book Fairs, such as the Frankfurt one and the Sofia one
●	the academic partnerships of New Bulgarian University with European universities (please see a list of those in the attached letter of support)
●	the strong links between the Human Library Foundation and readers of speculative fiction, both in Bulgaria and in Europe – particularly reinforced after Bulgaria hosted the 2004 Eurocon (European SF convention), where our Project Manager was one of the assistant organizers; as many of these readers are organized in clubs (SF fandom), they offer another form of distribution channels
●	the personal contacts of our members and collaborators – for instance, with Taruithorn, the Oxford Tolkien Society (Violet Ketskarova); with Erster Deutscher Fantasy Club e.V. - Passau, Germany (Natalia Andreeva, our second German translator); with St. Paul's College Raheny in Dublin (Anna Ananieva); with University of Westminster and Warwick University in the UK (Svetlana Dimitrova); with various readers in Germany and Switzerland (Lilia Atanassova, Dimitar Stefanov) 
●	the active connections of the Human Library Foundation with Bulgarian media, who have been covering our events and activities (see for instance http://www.programata.bg/index.php?page=details&ln=1&city=1&eid=45696 or http://dariknews.bg/view_article.php?article_id=194699)

September – November 2008: setup of a website dedicated to Tales for Europe's Youth, in Bulgarian, German and English
September 2008 – January 2010 and onwards: regular (at least weekly) updates of the website detailing the progress of the project; exchange of promotional banners with partner websites

During the dissemination process, summaries of the four novels and translated extracts will be distributed for free. We are also negotiating with the authors to offer larger parts of the translations online, either before or after the paper publications.

January 2010 and onwards: Ca. 4% of the books published will be distributed for free to schools,  universities and libraries across Europe.

June 2009 – September 2009: If there is sufficient interest, we are going to organize an international workshop on collective writing in the town of Kazanlak or in Sofia, where the young authors of The Coin share their unique experience. (Meanwhile, their latest novel The Show will have appeared, a collaboration between some fifteen writers – another unprecedented accomplishment.)
