Within the framework of the Three with books for young people y Three with moving bookslast year, the students worked on Little Brother (Blackie Books, 2021), by Amets Arzallus and Ibrahima Balde, a work full of humanity, memory and hope.
This year, students are reading Extraordinary journeys through mysterious lands (Icaria, 2016), by Sonia Nimr, Palestinian writer and storyteller. Nimr is a member of the academic board of the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Studies at Birzeit University (Palestine), where she is also an assistant professor.
