Projects
Together with the Slovene Writers’ Association the society confers the Best Short Story Award. It also bestows the Best Slovene Essay Award and the so called Sunflower on the Shoulder Award. The latter is being awarded for achievements in developing reading literacy among the younger generations.
Sodobnost is rather active in the so called audience building, running various projects that aim to encourage reading and promote literature, also organising book related public events (readings, workshops, etc). It participates in various projects of promoting and presenting contemporary Slovene literature abroad. Project (Iz)brano brings translations of ten outstanding literary works from across Europe. The variety of carefully selected works of literature ensures that it will cater to different generations, both adults and children. The authors include, for example, the cult European writer Phillip Ardagh, the Lithuanian nominee for the International Memorial Prize Astrid Lindgren Kęstutis Kasparavičius, and the award-winning Italian author Luigi Ballerini
International collaborations
Besides ordering translations from foreign authors, Sodobnost is also running different joint enterprises with other publishers from around Europe, among them the Polish based Ezop and the Lithuanian Nieko Rimto. Together with them and (as of 2017) also a few other book publishing houses from Estonia, Latvia and Croatia, Sodobnost is running a cooperative European project called Our Little Library. It arranges for youth literature writers and illustrators to travel around Europe and personally get involved with their young readers (aged between 5 and 12 years). It also involves setting up various interactive and entertaining activities that stimulate reading and the child’s creativity (fabricating their literary characters, writing down their opinions about books, reading letters sent to them by the authors, solving detective assignments, etc). Under the auspices of the project different publishing business meetings and seminars take place.
