Join us and celebrate Sant Jordi online


Ja podem celebrar el Sant Jordi gràcies a la nova iniciativa de LletrA:  Un Sant Jordi ple de veus. Fins al 29 d’abril podeu enregistrar breus fragments de les vostres lectures preferides. Les plataformes del web  permeten fer l’enregistrament en xarxa i compartir la lectura de manera ben senzilla.  
Es tracta d’un projecte obert a tothom que contribuirà en els inicis de la creació d’una Audioteca de literatura catalana.
