This spring former Guest Writer Otba Fathallah (Iraq) and storyteller Nina Næsheim have toured several schools, performing fairytales and sharing stories of growing up in Iraq. The tour was a cooperation between Shahrazad Stavanger and The Cultural Rucksack, a national programme for art and culture provided by professionals in Norwegian schools.
The performances were very well received by the participating children, all between the ages of 6 and 10, and will most likely be offered as part of the festival program at Kapittel - Stavanger's International Festival of Literature and Freedom of Expression this fall.
