EURead Campaigns
In 2013, EURead organised the European-wide campaign Reading Aloud, Reading Together. And in 2018-2020 EURead organised the Europe Reads campaign, which will likely get a follow up in the near future. We were also partners in the European Book Day project, which was funded by ErasmusPlus. Below you will find more information about our campaigns. If you are looking for a partner in a European project or campaign, please contact us.
