Since August 2022, every Monday in Liepāja has started with a special recommendation – a book that another Liepāja resident has read and suggests. Our recommenders are as diverse as the city itself – students and teachers, entrepreneurs and artists, librarians and musicians. So far, more than 150 Liepāja residents have shared their thoughts on literature!
On September 18, at the Egons Līvs Award “People of the Coast” ceremony, we revealed something special – all these stories and recommendations have been collected, and a book “Residents of Liepāja Read” is in the making. It won’t just be a collection of recommendations – it will be the literary face of Liepāja: our thoughts, calm and unrest, breath and love for our city.
Just a little more patience – the final technical touches are being made before sending the book to print, and very soon it will see the light of day!
To support the personal growth and skill development of Liepāja 2027 volunteers, a training session for volunteer team leaders was held on October 18, focusing on information-gathering techniques and team-building methods. The training was led by non-formal education trainer Staņislavs Babins.
The Skills Exchange Platform “Skill Market” goal is to promote the preservation, development, and mutual exchange of craft skills among masters from different generations, industries, and communities. Project activities will take place from October 2025 to May 2027.
