IBZ is an organisation, based in KarlsRuhe, Germany,  which promotes cultural dialogue on political, inter-religious and intercultural issues.

The short story ‘A  Pair Of Jeans’  is  a regular part of education in Germany now,  as for many years  it has been included in  literature studied for The Abitur.

Its no surprise then that Qaisra is a frequent visitor to Germany where  she is often invited to speak and lecture on her work.
