Sunday in the Courtyard

Sunday in the Courtyard, a programme of the CCCB and Laie bookshop offers lectures, conversations and recitals, from the essay through to children’s and young people’s books, with the aim of contributing to keep our city’s cultural richness alive.

Sunday in the Courtyard, a programme of the CCCB and Laie bookshop, aims to offer activities that reflect the cultural vitality and diversity of our surroundings at a time when the spaces for cultural life have been drastically reduced but also when the need for coming together and engaging in exchanges is greater than ever.

Using the Pati de les Dones, an open space at the CCCB that has now been adapted for regularly programmed events, Sunday in the Courtyard offers activities that, informally and simply, expand the fabric of relations and projects linked with the world of books. With lectures, conversations and recitals, from the essay through to children’s and young people’s books, Sunday in the Courtyard aspires to create moments of dialogue that contribute towards keeping our city’s cultural richness alive.

The CCCB and the Laie bookshop are working together in this project to continue celebrating the transformative power of the word and literature. Stay up to date with this programme with the hashtag #diumengealpati and at the Laie website.
