Borrow Me! Human Library

19 Jun 2010 - 12:00
Etc/GMT+1

Imagine borrowing a person from your local library in the same way you would borrow a book. How easily would you ‘read’ the book? Would you find what you expected to, and can you really judge a book by its cover?

During Refugee Week 2010 you’ll have the opportunity to find out - you can borrow a ‘human book’ and read it; which means chatting, asking questions and discovering whole new worlds. As it is Refugee Week all of the ‘books’ on loan will have some connection to that theme.

This event has had a great effect on participants across the world and is not to be missed.

Events are free. No need to book, just turn up at your local Norfolk library.

In Search of Europe's Soul

Join us for an evening that will reveal key insights into the powerful role poetry can play in society and beyond.

The Brussels Poetry Collective set out to ignite some passion into the discourse about Europe’s true soul by commissioning some startling poetry from over 50 poets from Europe and beyond.

Collectively called The European Constitution in Verse, the resulting poems are critical, passionate and real.

Come and experience them yourself by listening to work from International City of Refuge Writers in Residence Faraj Bayrakdar, Easterine Kire Iralu and Salem Zenia at this event, part of a European tour.

Tickets: £4 on the door.
