Dr. Jan Dominik Bogataj, Franciscan and patrologist, whose work interweaves early Christian thought with liturgical forms of the Eastern and Western traditions; Ines Cergol, professor, publicist and editor of publications on the Coptic priest Alojz Kocjančič, whose work has significantly influenced the spiritual and literary image of Slovenian Istria; Mile Pešorda, poet and essayist, will personally read on this occasion the poem "Baščanska ploča" from his bilingual collection Baščanska plošča, poema / Baščanska ploča, poema (Društvo 2000, Ljubljana, 2013).
