Koe Latvia 17.12FIN-E
„Taste Latvia”days in Finland
15.1.–15.2.2015
Taste Latvia days to bring a series of exciting events to Helsinki,
Finland from January 15 to February 15, 2015. Held for the first time,
the event coincides with Latvia’s Presidency of the Council of the
European Union and the President of Latvia’s State visit to Finland.
Do you know what Finns and Latvians have in common, and what
sets them apart? And do you know that the two cultures share
similar tastes for food? Over the four week period, Taste Latvia will
explore these and other interesting themes.
The main objective of the initiative is to introduce Latvia’s
economic growth and the potential for furthering Finnish–Latvian
cooperation. Additionally, Taste Latvia will introduce the novelties
in Latvian interior and fashion design as well as in literature,
including appearances by the 2014 European Literature prize
winner and an internationally recognized Latvian writer. The
events will also showcase the best of Latvian documentaries and
the angelic voices of the world famous Riga Dome Boys Choir.
The project is organized by the Investment and Development
Agency of Latvia in partnership with the Embassy of Latvia in
Finland and the Latvian Tourism Development Agency.
