Cultural activities across Europe have focused on literary promotion and community engagement. In early September, regional book fairs were organized in Ružomberok, Slovakia, and Karviná, Czech Republic. These events aimed to promote reading and the circular economy through the sale of used books and household items, while also featuring musical performances and literary demonstrations in Czech and Polish.

Later in the month, cultural programming expanded to include new book releases and theatrical performances in Croatia and Germany. In Vugrovec, Croatia, writer Štefica Koši Jakopović promoted her new book, ‘Dah prošlosti’. Meanwhile, in Karlsfeld, Germany, a cultural evening featured a comedy performance by Zagreb’s Teatar EXIT followed by a presentation of Željko Musić Ćile’s book, ‘Dan kad te stigne prošlost’.
