The Barcelona UNESCO City of Literature Office of Barcelona City Council is where all the projects that link the city with literature are designed, planned, and executed. These include grants for literary creations, activities to promote reading, and literary mapping across the city. The Office also acts as an intermediary between all the different agents involved with literature and culture in the city, and it is from here that Barcelona is connected with the other UNESCO Creative Cities of Literature around the world, opening the door to partnerships and common projects.
