The third meeting of the "Living Library" project
On May 31st, at the S. Toraygyrov Regional Library, the Center for Creative Creativity organized another, third meeting as part of the "Living Library" project.
This is an international project aimed at combating stereotypes and prejudices. People of different ages, professions, communities, lifestyles, and social statuses act as books. Each of them has their own story.
This time, the participants and listeners were offered three "living books" to "read." Teenagers, young people, and older individuals came to "read" them, and each person was able to find something close and interesting among the "living books."
The first "book" was Serik Syzdykov, a musician, educator, and director of the "Music Complex" in Pavlodar. He talked about how his passion for music began, shared childhood memories, and answered questions from the audience. The meeting with Serik Syzdykov turned out to be warm and mutually beneficial.
Another interesting "living book" was Denis Manafov, an entrepreneur and founder of the "Losos' No. 1," "American Dream Pizza," and "Burger Zone" chain. He shared his knowledge and experience with the participants of the meeting. He talked about how to achieve success in any endeavor, no matter how small, and also shared his hobbies outside of work.
Adil Shaymurat, a tattoo artist and contemporary artist, and founder of the clothing brand "zqbs.wear" was also a fascinating "living book." He talked about the intricacies of tattoo art, his own clothing brand, and enthusiastically answered numerous questions from young people, sharing his experiences.
The event left a pleasant impression and an interesting experience for both the "living books" and the "readers," and everyone expressed their desire for more meetings in this unusual format.
