Welcome to the Irish Itinerary!
The Irish Itinerary sends Irish authors and artists on tour to visit EFACIS Centres in Europe. This initiative of the European Federation of Associations and Centres of Irish Studies (EFACIS) was initiated by professor Hedwig Schwall in 2013. Photos and testimonials of past events on the Irish Itinerary can be found here.
Are you an artist who would like to be involved in travelling Europe and sharing Irish culture and your work? Get in contact with us here.
What is the Irish Itinerary?
The EFACIS Irish Itinerary sends Irish authors and artists on tour through Europe. This cultural initiative regularly organises coordinated events hosted by members of the vibrant community of EFACIS centres of Irish studies. Our programme includes an impressive array of Irish writers, artists and performers who travel from city to city to present their work and engage in discussions of Irish literature and art. The Irish Itinerary is modelled on the practice of the Irish monks of old, and in embracing this ancient tradition, takes it forward into the 21st Century.
How can you participate?
EFACIS Centres of Irish Studies can take part in the Irish Itinerary by joining an already existing circuit or by finding at least one partner university to build a new route in their country or region. Participating EFACIS Centres then invite an Irish author or artist to visit them. The Centres organise the local itinerary and pay a modest fee to the participating authors and artists. EFACIS covers the authors' and artists' travel and accommodation expenses, helps wth the logistics and gives promotional support.
If you are interested in participating or if you have any further questions about the Irish Itinerary, contact our EFACIS coordinator at efaciscoord@efacis.eu!
We hope to see you at one of our Itinerary events soon!
