The time has finally come and we can present you the very first issue of Literasea – the new literary magazine of the Europa-Universität Flensburg. We hope you enjoy the various texts and artworks about Human Behavior which is the issue’s theme.

Over the past few months, we have worked hard to not only hold the first printed edition of Literasea in our hands but also to have a website filled with literary content as well as an Instagram account and promotional material such as posters and fun stickers. All this involved many hours of joint work, accompanied not only by laughter, but also by occasional discussions and many brainstorming sessions. There were many decisions to be made to end up with a cohesive journal.

We now hold the first issue of Literasea in our hands and couldn’t be prouder to present to you the German and English texts and the few artworks of numerous authors and artists.

Hopefully, the literary magazine will serve as a platform for creative experimentation for students and staff of the Europa-Universität Flensburg in the future.

A few words of thanks

First, we would like to thank Sibylle Machat for this project idea and her active support in all matters.

We would also like to thank Liv Hambrett for the good cooperation and her great help with the editing. Without them, the cooperation between the Creative Writing course and the Editing & Publishing project would certainly not have gone so smoothly.

Thank you to all authors and artists for submitting their texts and art- works. Their creative work is the basis of Literasea and without them, there would have been no journal to even publish.

We would also like to thank the Fördergesellschaft der Universität Flensburg for their financial support. They made it possible to advertise this journal, celebrate the launch of this first-ever issue and sell it at a low price point.
