Take a literary tour around the world, with the help of the UNESCO Cities of Literature network! Join emerging writers from Heidelberg, Jakarta, Kozhikode, Krakow, Ljubljana, Nottingham, Quebec City, Reykjavik, Tukums, Vilnius and Wroclaw as they walk you through their city, introducing you to local writers and pointing out what makes their City of Literature great.
First presented ten years ago at the Digital Writers Festival this is a return to the Melbourne UNESCO City of Literature Offices first project!
To begin our literary world tour we will pay a visit to one of Melbourne's closer Sister Cities of Literature; Jakarta!
