Adopting the Decisions set forth by both the European Parliament and Council:
The city of Pforzheim is gearing up for its annual Intercultural Week, a celebration of diversity and cultural exchange. The inauguration event for this year's Intercultural Week will take place at the Pforzheim City Library on Tuesday, September 19, 2023, at 7 PM.
The event, titled "Where From - Where To. About Leaving, Arriving, and Moving On.", is organised by the Protestant Adult Education, Pforzheim City Library, the International Advisory Board, and the Department of Europe and Twin Cities of the city of Pforzheim.
The reading event will feature four local authors from diverse cultural backgrounds. These authors will be sharing their stories during the reading, with their books serving as the centrepiece of the event. After the reading, there will be ample time for interaction and exchange, providing an opportunity for attendees to engage with the authors and each other.
The theme for this year's Intercultural Week is "New Spaces," reflecting the ever-evolving nature of our world and the importance of fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.
In addition to the reading, the event will also feature musical performances from the newly founded Ukrainian choir in Pforzheim, adding a harmonious layer to the evening.
While specific information about the participating authors was not found in the search results provided, the Protestant Church Pforzheim's website for the Intercultural Week offers an overview of the events. Among the residents confirmed to be involved are Fatima Hasso, who has been residing in Pforzheim since 2015, and Dr. Mazen Arafeh, who has been residing in the city since 2018. Rosimari Faustino and Selda Falke, who have both been residents of Pforzheim since 2021 and 1973 respectively, may also be among the authors participating in the event.
