As part of Refugee Week, STAR is collaborating with the Edinburgh Refugee Sponsorship Circle to present ‘Stories behind Stories,’ a community book swap event. Our two organisations will host a curated collection of books specially chosen by members of our communities. This will be accompanied by written accounts describing the chosen stories’ significance and personal meaning, for guests to read and reflect upon.
If you’d like to visit this event, please bring your books to the swap and consider writing your own accompanying short stories for others to explore. If you don’t have a book to swap, visitors are welcome to take one book from the collection. Complimentary teas and coffees will be provided, alongside baked goods for sale.
£5 to Swap Books. Entry is Free but donations are highly encouraged.
