Human Library in Máguez: two sessions on learning to tell your own story

"We are all stories — will you tell us yours?" That is the question with which Haría council presents Biblioteca Humana, a free workshop at the Sociedad de Máguez for finding, shaping and sharing true stories.

It is led by Estrella Escriña and runs on two dates, but you only attend one: Thursday 17 September, 6pm to 8.30pm or Friday 18 September, 11am to 1.30pm. The content is the same; only the time changes, one afternoon and one morning.

The workshop is part of Palabras al Vuelo, the international oral storytelling festival, and there is more for anyone who catches the bug: further sessions on 8 and 10 October and the closing Biblioteca Humana on 11 October. Taking part in the final event is not compulsory: you can do the September session and leave it there.

How to register

The activity is free but advance registration is required. Details and the form are on the festival site, palabrasalvuelo.com. The initiative comes from Haría council with the Cabildo de Lanzarote y La Graciosa.
