The Municipal Theatre El Casino in Sant Esteve Sesrovires will host on Saturday the 24th edition of the Joan Coromines National Awards, an event celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Coordinadora d’Associacions per la Llengua Catalana (CAL).

The event, jointly organized by CAL and the local entity CALSES, will begin at 6:00 PM. During the ceremony, the local award will be presented to the scientific dissemination project Fora d’Òrbita, by residents Carles Schnabel and Rat Parellada.
The Joan Coromines National Awards aim to recognize individuals and entities distinguished for their defense and dissemination of the Catalan language and culture. This edition coincides with the 30th anniversary of CAL's founding.
This year's awardees include musician Arnau Tordera, poet Albert Jané, librarian Dolors Lamarca (posthumously), Edicions Bromera, and the newspaper Diari La veu. In the local award category, the planetarium Fora d’Òrbita is recognized for its scientific, educational, and cultural dissemination work.
The event will have a marked local flavor, not only due to the local awardee but also because it will be presented by local journalist Jèssica del Moral. Additionally, local entities Coral Sant Esteve and Tinta i vi, along with several individuals linked to the town's cultural scene, will collaborate.
Speeches will include contributions from the mayor Roser Brosed; Francesc Xavier Vila, Minister of Linguistic Policy of the Generalitat; Emili Gaya, from CAL Sant Esteve Sesrovires; and Jaume Marfany, president of CAL.
