The cultural initiative "Un estiu a Galeusca" promoted shared literature among the Catalan, Basque, and Galician speaking territories, publishing nine short stories in VilaWeb, Berria, and Nós Diario during the summer of 2022.

This series, titled Un estiu a Galeusca (A Summer in Galeusca), was a joint editorial project lasting nine weeks, aiming to showcase contemporary literary creation from the three cultures. Each week, a story by a different author was published, translated and simultaneously available in Catalan, Basque, and Galician.
Notable authors who participated in the series include Xosé Martínez Oca, Mario Regueira, Nee Barros, Kirmen Uribe, Arantza Iturbe, Aintzane Usandizaga, Aina Fullana Llull, Gemma Pasqual i Escrivà, and Núria Bendicho. The collaboration highlighted the vitality of Galeusca literatures.

The short story series demonstrated the capacity of Catalan, Basque, and Galician literatures to connect and share narratives beyond linguistic borders.

The publication was carried out through the digital media outlets VilaWeb (Catalonia), Berria (the Basque Country), and Nós Diario (Galicia), establishing a precedent for journalistic and cultural cooperation between these regions.
