The biggest promotional campaign for poetry in Flanders and the Netherlands

Poetry Week 2026: Everything in motion!
Poetry Week is the annual celebration of poetry in Flanders and the Netherlands. What began in 2000 as Poetry Day, an initiative by Poetry International, has now grown into a vibrant week filled with poetry. Poets, readers, schools, libraries, and cultural organizations come together to experience, share, and showcase poetry.
