  • East to West Migration in Europe, Seen from the Perspective of the British Press Pavla Cekalova1

Statistical characterisations like the above, for example, have been the perfect foil for sensationalist stories, which described an “invasion” of Britain by “floods” of immigrants who were going to “swamp” the country.3 Media reporting, however, can also encourage coexistence, by countering prejudices and fears and emphasizing the benefits that the arrival of the newcomers has yielded for the country. This article presents some of the most common perspectives that dominated in the British press regarding the Central and Eastern European newcomers who arrived after the EU enlargement in 2004.4 There has been a clear division in how the issue of immigration from Central and Eastern Europe after the EU enlargement in 2004 has been covered by the British press.

A book festival is a series of one-time, unique events which builds community and sparks the imagination of its attendees as they interact with the participating authors and illustrators who have contributed to our literary culture and are all gathered in one place on the same day. Most book festivals are open to the public for free, so it is necessary to obtain presenters who are willing to come for free or possibly for just reasonable travel expenses, including a keynote speaker if there is one. Since a book festival is planned from the ground up, listed below are the areas that will help in organizing one. None of them are mutually exclusive of the others. Each item will be addressed within the toolkit.
