Finnland. Programme.
Finnland. Cool. and Finnish culture took over Frankfurt and the German-speaking Europe in 2014. Everything culminated at the Frankfurt Book Fair from October 8th to 12th as one of the most successful Guest of Honour presentations of all times. Altogether there were more than 500 Finland-related events, readings, exhibitions and all kinds of cultural projects – some of the exhibitions are still going on and some Finnish authors are reading in Germany.
This page is a digital scrap book and an archive where you can read more about the various Finnland. Cool. projects that took place in 2014. If you are a Finnland. Cool. project organizer or a cooperation partner and would like to send a debrief (e.g. photos, short texts, flyers, links to newspaper articles or blog posts) of your project, that we could post here, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
