The two local cultural operators chosen by the Project Management together with the Italian Cultural Institute are the "Association of writers", Luxor Office, and the "Friends of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina" in Alexandria. The choice of these two cultural operators lies in the established network of writers and poets that both associations experience.
