TRANSPOESIE marks the European Day of Languages and Linguistic Diversity, celebrated each year on 26 September, by organising a series of events in September and October that present the rich and diverse poetry of Europe. Organised by EUNIC Brussels since 2011, the poetry festival returns to Brussels in each year with an exciting array of poems from across Europe, which will be displayed in the public transportation hub in their original languages, with French and Dutch translations.

Over the past 10 years, 222 European poets have presented their poems in the framework of the project. The public of Brussels gets a chance to discover the great variety of languages and literary talent in Europe, enriching their daily routines with a unique and creative experience.

Our various partners during the past editions were: Brussels International House of Literature Passa Porta, Center for Fine Arts BOZAR, City of Brussels, European Union delegation in Brussels, Galerie Anspach, Loterie Nationale, STIB/MIVB, Actissia, MuntPunt, European Parliament, European Commission Directorate General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture, Le Cercle des Voyageurs, Mondocultures, MuntPunt, Network for Promoting Linguistic Diversity, Visit.Brussels, La Maison du Livre, etc.
