Nordic literature week

  • The Nordic Literature Week is a read aloud event, where the same Nordic literature related to a chosen theme is read out loud at the same time across the Nordic and Baltic countries, as well as other Nordic institutions around the world. The Nordic Literature Week itself takes place in mid-November, and that week's Monday is the Big Reading Aloud Day, where places such as libraries, schools and other cultural institutions arrange readings for children and youth in the mornings and for adults in the evenings. The project is managed by The Confederation of Nordic Associations, an NGO that works for Nordic co-operation, and financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers.

    A new theme is chosen every year, along with one children's book, one youth book and one adult book somehow related to that theme. The theme and books are chosen by the Nordic Literature Week's reference group, consisting of one representative from each Nordic country and territory.
