From May 11–15, the UNESCO Cities of Literature Annual Conference is being hosted in Tartu, bringing together 66 delegates from 42 Cities of Literature around the world.

As the UNESCO Cities of Literature Annual Conference commences in Tartu, we send our warmest greetings to our fellow delegates and hosts. While Slemani UNESCO City of Literature is unable to attend in person this year due to regional conflict and airspace closures, our spirit of collaboration remains stronger than ever.

We are deeply grateful to our colleagues at Melbourne UNESCO City of Literature. Our representative partners from Melbourne will be speaking on behalf of the Inkubator Project, a vital and creative initiative shared between our two cities. We are proud to have this project highlighted on the global stage and thank Melbourne for their dedicated support in ensuring Slemani’s voice is heard during these important discussions.
