S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 \u201cWhat if you had to cross seas and entire countries on your own?\u201d The debate about the urgent reality of refugee children is the common thread of some of the events in the official educational program of the 17th<\/sup> Paraty International Literature Festival (FLIP<\/a>), to run from July 10 to 14 in Paraty, Brazil. There will be two boat rides followed by a staging and a chat about the children\u2019s book Amal e a viagem mais importante de sua vida<\/em> (Amal and the most important trip in her life) by Carolina Montenegro.<\/p>\n

On Friday (12), a boat ride<\/a> at 9 am will have \u201cThe most important journey in her life,\u201d starring the Syrian-Palestinian actress Oula Al-Saghir (pictured, L)<\/em> reading a text about journeys written by the playwriter Helena Cerello. The 30-minute ride will be followed by a staging of the book<\/a> \u201cAmal\u201d at Biblioteca Comunit\u00e1ria Casa Azul at 10 am. In the end, there\u2019ll be a chat with Al-Saghir and Miguel Panchioni, public information associate at United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR<\/a>), which backed the book.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe there\u2019ll be many rich debates, with children, teenagers and adults. We\u2019ll talk about the refuge theme with a broach approach and also about Brazil as a receiving country, the dilemmas and hardships of refugee people, demystifying some of the prejudices against them, fighting xenophobia and showing that most of these people are highly skilled and have a lot to contribute to a plural society such as Brazil, with their inspirational stories and cultural richness,\u201d Paschioni told ANBA. This is his first time in a chat about the book. He will also be at the boat ride.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously to the boat ride, which is subject to availability, there\u2019ll be a walk leaving Central Flipinha to the library at 9:30 am, with actress and director L\u00edvia Camargo (pictured above, R)<\/em>. At the library, Oula and L\u00edvia will tell stories together. The script adapted from the book was written by Isabel Malzoni, who is also the book\u2019s editor.<\/p>\n

On Saturday (13), the staging followed by the chat occurs at Central Flipinha<\/a> at 2 pm at the Matriz square. All the events are free to attend.<\/p>\n
