Book World

The Bookworld stage will feature a non-stop programme of events ranging from wars and genocides to conflict resolution, world peace and post-colonialism: interviews with authors, literary debates, cosmopolitan fireside chats and talks by peace researchers. A new programme starts every half hour.

The programme includes fresh non-fiction on nuclear war, the brutal war in Gaza, herero genocide and disarmament. Special guest is the Secretary General of the Hibakusha (nuclear bomb survivors’ organisation) from Hiroshima, which has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Bookworld is located at the Rosebud stand in the Cirkon Manees, near the entrance to the festival area on the Kalasatama side.

The programme is mainly in Finnish.
