How EURead celebrated its 25th anniversary

Founded in 2000, EURead is a consortium of European reading promotion organisations who believe that reading is a prerequisite for full participation in today’s media-led and culturally diverse society. Last month, EIBF, who is a proud member of EURead since 2024, joined the EURead General Assembly and Open Forum, held in Brussels. The event also marked 25 years of EURead’s work in promoting reading across Europe. To commemorate this anniversary, we asked Daan Beeke, from the Dutch reading promotion organisation Stichting Lezen and one of the key figures behind EURead, to tell us EURead’s story in this guest blog.
