"Mika" book launch with Jelena Angelovski - 12 October 2024

We are pleased to announce the book launch event for the novel “Mika” with the author Jelena Angelovski. During the event, we will talk about the novel, our heritage language and bilingualism in our children growing up abroad.

Jelena Angelovski is a mum, a Serbian language teacher and an author for children growing up bilingually.

“Mika” is Jelena’s first novel, but also potentially the first major Serbian novel in modern times focussed on the topic of growing up abroad.

Join us in conversation on this topic that is common to all of us.

This event is both for children and grown-ups.

Saturday, 12 October 2024.
16 – 18h

Bishop Nikolaj Hall
89 Lancaster Road
London W11 1QQ

Free entrance!

Please register for the event via Eventbrite website. Registration is not compulsory; we just want to know roughly how many people to expect.

*This event is part of the project entitled “Creating positive experiences in and emotional associations to Serbian language in our children who are growing up in the UK: The novel “Mika” and workshops with Jelena Angelovski”. This project is co-financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, the Office for collaboration with diaspora and Serbian people in the region.

More about Jelena:

Jelena Angelovski is a Serbian language teacher and a PhD in literature. Since 2018, she has been living in Switzerland, where she teaches Serbian language and culture to Serbian children from expat families. She is a mum of three. Her children were born and to an extent grew up in Serbia, but then relocated to Switzerland. Last year, she published her first novel “Mika“. Protagonists in this novel are very similar to Jelena’s children and students.
