Her Majesty, the Culture
This is the poster promoting a cultural pro-reading project called: "Writers on the Royal Route". It will take place between May 9th and May 15th, on the occasion of th 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Romanian Writers' Society.
The project's main activity is carried on by 45 of the best writers and poets in our country, winners of international literature prizes. They will travel by the Royal train, built in 1927, starting from Bucharest, to 5 other towns in the country: Iasi, Suceava, Alba Iulia, Sibiu, Medias, performing reading sessions and donating books, in order to establish a reading corner in those train stations. After that, a DVD, a book and other materials with their readings will be made and distributed to libraries.
The project team hopes to have the same kind of tour next year, in the capitals of the neighbouring countries.

There's nothing better than promoting culture, encouraging reading. My heart sinks whenever I hear students say in classrooms they only read the compulsory books.
As a matter of fact, there are good readers as well. But they are outnumbered by the non-readers.
a real pity!
May the reading train be a success!
