Storytel Arabia has dubbed the recordings as \u2018Words of Tolerance.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Ammar Mardawi, Country Manager, Storytel Arabia, said: \u201cStorytel\u2019s recording booth aims to actively engage our booth visitors not only with the festival\u2019s theme but also with the national Year of Tolerance initiative launched by the UAE Government to celebrate one of the principles espoused by the UAE\u2019s founding father. From all these recordings, we will choose the best of the best and put them in an audiobook, to further inspire our users to embrace uniqueness and to love and respect each other despite our differences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn line with the UAE\u2019s Year of Tolerance, we hope to encourage more people to spread the message of tolerance and acceptance. What better way to do this than to join the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature, the Arab world\u2019s largest celebration of the written and spoken word. We are proud to be part of an event that shares the same ideology as ours. We already have a number of moving and impactful messages from our visitors of different ages and backgrounds and we cannot wait to share them with the users of Storytel application,\u201d Mardawi added.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Words of Tolerance\u2019 project is one of Storytel Arabia\u2019s ways of promoting the noble message of tolerance across all segments of society, most especially in the younger generation.
