Benvolguts

Us contactem com a entitat col·laboradora del projecte Catalan Weekend, per tal d’avançar amb els acords establerts després de reunir-nos amb vosaltres.

La setmana propera després de setmana santa, seguim fent campanya de comunicació a les xarxes socials, i ja volem fer visibles les col·laboracions amb entitats com la vostra. Us adjuntem materials diversos de comunicació com el banner del Catalan Weekend, per tal que el pugueu adherir a la vostra web (us enviem dos formats, un quadrat i un altre rectangular, tot i així si necessiteu una mida diferent en ho feu saber).

Així mateix adjuntem el link del dossier de presentació del projecte per poder fer-ne difusió als vostres membres, ja sigui a través de butlletins o altres comunicats:
Dossier de presentació

* Aquest dossier el tenim a disposició en altres llengües

Igualment, us demanem fer una crida als vostres socis i col·laboradors demanant que col·laborin amb el projecte fent d’amfitrions i indicant-los el lloc web www.catalanweekend.cat per poder-se registrar.

Finalment ens agradaria saber a quines entitats homòlogues a nivell internacional heu convidat o tenir previst convidar i quina activitat pròpia o en el marc del Catalan Weekend teniu previst realitzar.

Per tot això ens posem a la vostra disposició i poder fer una reunió per parlar de tots aquests temes i sinó és possible us trucarem per parlar-ne.

LXI ANGLO-CATALAN SOCIETY ANNUAL CONFERENCE
The LXI annual conference will be held at the University of Glasgow from 13th to 15th November 2015.
This year’s conference will take place at the University of Glasgow. We encourage members and nonmembers alike to come to the conference and take advantage of this excellent opportunity to hear
stimulating papers, engage in lively discussion and enjoy meeting with colleagues and friends. The
University has a long tradition in the teaching of Catalan and in recent years has been gradually building up local and international collaborations and networks in relation to Catalan culture.
Glasgow is a vibrant and dynamic city which offers a wide range of events, activities and places to visit.

Recently voted the ‘friendliest city in the world’ in a Rough Guides poll, you can expect a very warm
welcome, world-class architecture, breath-taking scenery and one of the top places to shop in the UK. For more information please refer to the following websites: https://peoplemakeglasgow.com/;
http://conferenceuk.peoplemakeglasgow.com/

The city is served by three international airports (Glasgow, Prestwick and Edinburgh) and it is very well
connected by train from across the UK (https://peoplemakeglasgow.com/visiting/getting-here). Glasgow’s city centre is remarkably compact and easy to get around. For information on maps, see:

The city offers a wide range of accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets. For anyone wishing to book accommodation well in advance, there are good deals to be had on city centre hotels via the
usual online sites. If you intend to do this we would recommend either a central or West End hotel close to a subway stop: http://www.spt.co.uk/subway/.
Further details about the conference fees, speakers, precise venues and how to book will be published on the association’s web site in due course. Your local contacts at Glasgow are Jordi Cornellà-Detrell and Kathryn Crameri: Jordi.cornella@glasgow.ac.uk; Kathryn.crameri@glasgow.ac.uk. Please email us if you have any questions or suggestions.
