Ljubka’s Trail to Take Visitors in the Footsteps of Women Writers

FSK and its partner, the Lojze Bratuž Cultural Centre in Gorizia, applied for the first call for proposals of the GO! 2025 Small Projects Fund and received financial support for the creation of a cultural and tourist trail dedicated to Ljubka Šorli and women writers of the Goriška region.

Within the framework of the project, the partners will map out a walking, hiking and cycling trail in the footsteps of the poet Ljubka Šorli and her female literary predecessors and contemporaries. The trail will take visitors along their life and literary routes, linking a wider area on both sides of the border and stretching all the way to Tolmin, where Ljubka Šorli was born and grew up. The FSK and the partner Lojze Bratuž Cultural Centre are planning activities in cooperation with the Women Writers Route, a Cultural Route of the Council of Europe, of which the FSK is an initiator and active member. Together with experts and various organisations from the region along the border, the two partners will organise a series of educational and cultural programmes and events, and will publish a guidebook along Ljubka Šorli’s Trail and a collection of the works of the often overlooked women writers who lived and worked in the area.

The project was presented by the Director of the FSC, Dr Andreja Rihter, at the first meeting of the new season of the Forum of Ideas, organised in Gorizia by the Slovenian Cultural and Economic Association and the Slovenian Rai Programme in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
