El passat dia 7 de febrer, l’estat de Victòria es va veure afectat pels més terribles incendis de la seva història més recent. Des del Casal Català, volem transmetre un suport especial a tots el socis i sòcies, així com a familiars i amics, que s’hagin pogut veure afectats d’alguna forma.
Afortunadament, no tot són notícies tristes. El Casal es plau de donar la benvinguda a un nou membre, el Jan, Qui va néixer el passat 14 de Febrer. Moltes felicitats als pares,
El mes d’abril arriba carregat de lletres, flors i celebracions, doncs el 23 d’abril es celebra a Catalunya
El Casal Català es complau convidar-vos el diumenge 26 d’Abril a
Mentre els menuts dibuixen, convidem als adults a fer una breu presentació (més o menys 1 minut) del vostre llibre preferit o del darrer llibre que hagueu llegit. Una bona manera de compartir lectures i incentivar als assistents a llegir la novel·la que tant us ha agradat.
El moment àlgid de la tarda arribarà amb el vídeo/documental de Sant Jordi de 20 minuts. Una pinzellada de la història, cultura i tradició popular que rodeja aquest dia tan important per Catalunya, també conegut com el dia del llibre i la rosa.
Gràcies a tots per la vostra atenció i us esperem el diumenge 26 d’abril!

Dear Casal members,
On February 7 the State of Victoria suffered the worst bush fires in its history. The Casal Català wishes to convey our condolences to any of our members whose friends or relatives have been tragically affected in any way by the fires.
Fortunately, we have some good news too. The Casal is delighted to welcome a new member, Jan, born on 14 of February. Our best wishes to her parents, Sisca and Jaume; to the happy grandparents Sánchez and Albert families!
April arrives with a promise of books and roses, since on 23 April these are the gifts with which we celebrate the Day of Sant Jordi. No less a body than UNESCO has recognized it as the World Book and Copyright Day, based upon the Catalan traditions of the Diada de Sant Jordi – and the coincidence that this was the date on which Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de
The Casal Català is pleased to invite you on Sunday 26 April to Ross House (4th Floor), 247-251 Flinders Lane- Melbourne, 3-6 pm, to celebrate Sant Jordi with food and drinks and Catalan sweets for everyone. (Everyone attending will receive a small gift appropriate to the day).
For the children we have planned an Artists’ Workshop. It’s not necessary to be a brilliant artist! The idea will be to draw what interested you most about some special book that you have read. The Casal will provide the equipment, you just have to bring the kids! (And every child participating will receive a prize!)
While the young ones draw, we’ll invite the adults to give a very brief talk (no more than one minute each!) on your favourite book – or on the most recent book that you have enjoyed reading. A good way to compare notes and perhaps motivate others to read a book that you can particularly recommend, especially if it’s about Catalonia (in any language).
As a climax to the afternoon we will show a documentary video on Sant Jordi of 20 minutes: a brief sketch of the history, culture and popular tradition behind this important day in Catalonia, also known as the Day of Books and Roses.
We hope to see you all on Sunday 26 of April!
