In the autumn of 2019, Leeuwarden was given the permanent title of “City of Literature” by UNESCO. And whole the province of Fryslân is joining! So now, in 2024, we have been part of the Creative Cities Network of UNESCO for five years. A milestone to reflect on.
What has happened, been written, presented in the past five years? We present figures and a few striking projects. We also briefly look ahead. Leeuwarden UNESCO City of Literature is here to stay!
