Xàbia creates a “Living
Library” with the
testimony of residents
with experiences as
refugees, activism or
overcoming life
The activity is part of the Week of
Cultural Diversity
The City Council of Xàbia will
dedicate id-May to give prominence
to the rich cultural diversity of the
municipality with a specific program
that will give voice to migrants and try
to break prejudices and stereotypes.
The most symbolic activity will be
the so-called “living library” and will
be carried out by nine residents in
Xàbia who treasure very interesting
personal stories. Each of them will
become a “book person” that can be
consulted and thus know their trips,
adventures or stories of improvement
The Councilor for Social Services,
Pepa Gisbert, thanked the generosity
of these people, in all cases, very
enriching testimonies. There are
Naziha Barnoussi and Souad
Merabet, two revolutionaries who
have overcome the popular image
of “submissive Arab women” and
have been an example of coexistence,
respect and liberation.
