S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Online rental platform\u00a0Airbnb<\/a>, which connects guests and hosts, will pick the 20 best experiences proposed by refugees and immigrants via its\u00a0Roots in the City<\/a>\u00a0project. The initiative saw training provided to refugees in a course since last March, in partnership with\u00a0NGO Migraflix<\/a>, which works to socially and economically empower people with refugee status.<\/p>\n

The Experiences category, under which the refugees\u2019 activities will be available, was created in 2016 by Airbnb. It features activities that can be booked online by people looking to have experiences in the areas they are staying in. The immigrants\u2019 activities in S\u00e3o Paulo will be based on their artistic skills and background.<\/p>\n

Thirty proposals have been shortlisted from the Roots in the City course for the project wrap-up on Saturday (June 1) at Unibes Cultural, in S\u00e3o Paulo. On that occasion, a jury will name the 20 best ideas for the official campaign of the Airbnb Experiences project. The event is guests-only, and besides the cultural proposals, there will be a cocktail reception will typical foods from different countries and music performances.<\/p>\n

Five of the immigrants slated to perform are of Arab origin. Jordan\u2019s Ayman Abdel Rahman A. Alabadleh will present a lifestyle-oriented experience. The other Arab contenders come from Syria. Fatima Ismail will showcase a culinary experience, as will Ghazal Barambo. Yamam Saad\u2019s proposal revolves around culture, and Yara Tanji\u2019s is all about dancing.<\/p>\n
