Moving Library Tour - 2nd-9th of July 2012 - Somaliland The Moving Library Tour will take place in the first week of July 2012 through different routes by touching several Somaliland cities as part of the Fifth Hargeysa International Book Fair (HIBF). The aim this year is for the Moving Library Tour to return to some of those cities/towns and investigate the progress made by local authorities with regard to their commitment to realize a local public library. The main aim of the moving library tour was to bring books to towns and cities and facilitate access to literature through local reading clubs. Furthermore, we sought to visit local authorities to pledge to establish local public libraries. The idea of the moving library is to ensure hard to reach people, particularly the youth in rural towns and villages can also have an opportunity to not only see variety of books for the first time, but also to build the grassroots of a society that craves a reading culture and desire accessibility to books. We wanted to instill the importance of literature, so that the locals can demand and follow up with their local government the pledge to create public, multi-purpose reading centers for their cities. In every city/town the moving library visited, we donated “a seeding” set of books to start with, and in return, the local authority signed a memorandum of understanding, binding them to the establishment of a local public library. We strongly believe that this task will improve the reading culture of Somaliland societies not only in Hargeysa area but also other regions of the country. The enthusiasm of local people was evident throughout the moving library tour 2011, highlighting the motivation of the people to learn, engage and become involved in literacy. The moving library tour and book fair attracted thousands of people who enjoyed the books and took part in the interactive workshops and discussions. For the first time locals outside of Hargeysa were visted in their towns and cities, we reached out to local people across Somaliland, and their enthusiasm to join in with the artistic and creative activities was apparent. Young people especially, were keen to get involved and eager to explore the literature on offer. Based on progress reports and updates from the regional readers club, we are hopeful that out of the 9 cities/town’s we visited, two would have achieved their goal of securing both the land and building of local public library. After the tour, the regional youth and readers clubs representatives will go together to Hargeysa, and represent their respective regions to showcase their yearly activities during the book fair. 04 Hargeysa International Book Fair - 13th – 18th July 2012 Redsea Cultural Foundation and its partners are delighted to announce the 2012 Hargeysa International Book Fair (HIBF), now in its fifth year running. This week- long fair based around the theme of ‘Visualizing the Future’ will take place from 13th-18th July 2012 at the Beerta Xorriyadda, Hargeysa. Last year’s theme of ‘Collective Memory’ enabled citizens of Somaliland to share their experiences, memories, and mementos, in order to forge and strengthen a sense of national collective identity and citizenship. Building on last year, our 2012 theme encourages participants to offer a wide range of perspectives in order to reflect on future aims and aspirations for the country. Visualizing the Future During the last four years, HIBF has, through its emphasis on literature, discussion, and debate, explored a range of themes, including citizenship, censorship, and collective memories. This year we will emphasize the role of literature and a range of other artistic expressions, in the building of sustainable future for Somaliland. HIBF will serve as a platform for civil society to participate in open dialogue and debate the role of science, business, investment, development and tourism in Somaliland. Particular attention will be paid to the current state of the environment and future climate change. Our aim is to unite all sectors of society to create a common vision for the future. In the past, Somaliland’s youth have had limited opportunities to participate in political processes and in particular to have their voices heard on issues pertaining to citizenship and collective responsibilities, and cultural, economic, and social developments. HIBF 2012 provides a platform where individuals of different ages and backgrounds can partake in intellectual debates and come together to actively shape their own futures. HIBF 2012 intends to further expand on its work on citizenship, by bringing together youth from different regions of Somaliland. Focusing on the diversity of educational, social, economic, and cultural experiences of young Somalilanders, the festival seeks to empower young people to articulate
