"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." — George R.R. Martin
Join us for an inspiring session of our Readers Club with British Council Algeria Country Director and author Hamza Koudri, as we explore the transformative power of literature.
Stories transport us across time, cultures, and imagined worlds—offering deep insight into the human experience. They connect us through shared emotions like love, loss, and hope, reminding us of what it means to be human.Together, we'll explore how literature addresses global challenges such as climate change, migration, and gender inequality, through powerful works that cross boundaries and unite us.
There’ll also be time for discussion and reflection—so come ready to share and leave with new insights and a longer reading list!
Session outcomes:
