The Berne Declaration promotes the distribution of literature from Africa, Asia and Latinamerica. It has created a special book club called "Der Andere Literaturklub" which has a membership of more than 1000 members in Switzerland. Furthermore, it runs the series "World Literature" (Literatur der Welt) and regularly invites authors from Africa, Asia and Latinamerica for reading sessions. These events have been taking place for four years now in several major Swiss theatres.
