In Slovenia, the Pay with Verse initiative will also have a charitable note. Culture and poetry should be accessible to all social groups, but there is little literature adapted for the blind and partially sighted in Slovenia. That's how Julius Meinl Slovenia got the idea for the campaign #VerzZaVerz, with which all participating poets will help to expand the selection of books in the library for blind and partially sighted children and adolescents of the IRIS Center.
