Reading books is the foundation and future of our civilization. For REAL.
That’s why, together with Creative Europe, we’re organizing a huge celebration of the European Authors Day under the inviting slogan READ. For real.
Join the fun! Celebrate the joy of reading with us, invite and meet authors, illustrators and translators; enjoy their company at readings, workshops, or costume parties. You don’t have to be for real. Just READ. For Real!
Everyone can join in – #EuropeanAuthorsDay #ReadForReal is open to all.
A wide range of useful materials is available for free. Download and use them!
