At the end of April there will be another network of readers and listeners. It's time again for the Leverkusen book week 'Lev liest' (Lev reads) with a wide range of events and activities related to books and reading. 'Lev liest' is organised by the city library and the office of education. The organisers work in cooperation with schools, adult education centres, free theatres, cultural event organisers and societies, the communal cinema, local press, local radio, book shops and other partners for trade and industry. That means another exciting and very varied programme of events this year.
The Bayer 04 Fan Project is again involved this year with an event. This time Ronny Blaschke has been invited to read from his new book 'Gesellschaftsspielchen'. In this work the author presents a critical analysis of social commitment on the part of German football clubs and individual players. The evening we rounded off by a short summary of individual projects at Bayer 04 as well as a round table discussion.
The event is being held on Thursday 27 April at 19.00 CET at the Stadioneck at Karl-Marx-Str. 36. The entrance charge is five euros. Further information and the whole programme of events is available at www.levliest.de.

100 children from the Bayer 04 Football Academy had the chance to gain exclusive insights: As part of the summer camp, the young footballers headed inside the BayArena at midday on Tuesday, 21 July, where they were due to meet Werkself keepers Janis Blaswich and Simeon Rapsch in the press conference room. The two players took plenty of time to answer every question from the inquisitive audience – whether it was about their own careers or their first impressions of the new head coach. Finally, there was even time left to sign autographs for the young fans.
