about

The traditional Nordic Literature Week takes place from November 9 to 15, this year inviting us to reflect on the importance of democracy, freedom, equality, and respect for humanity.
This year's theme - "Democracy in the Nordic Countries" - will be revealed through literature, inviting us to explore different experiences, discuss and better understand the importance of a culture of open, tolerant and respectful dialogue.
This year's book for older children and young people is the novel "Kepler 62: The Invitation" by Finnish and Norwegian authors. Reading excerpts from this book, we will embark on a literary journey, and at the same time we will talk about democracy, the values it fosters and its importance in our lives.
We invite you to participate, read, listen and share your thoughts!
Democracy is not something we take for granted – we build, nurture, and protect it all together!
