ABOUT THE HUMAN LIBRARY: HOW TO BORROW A HUMAN BOOK
SEPTEMBER 2:
Have you ever
heard about the HUMAN LIBRARY ? Instead
of borrowing normal books you borrow a human book.
The Human
Library is, in the true sense of the word, a library of people. It hosts
events, where readers can borrow human beings serving as open books and have
conversations they world normally not have access to. Every human book from its
bookshelves represents a group in our society that is often subjected to
prejudice, stigmatization or discrimination because of their lifestyle, belief,
disability, social status, ethnic origin, etc.
The
initiative to the Human Library was taken in Copenhagen in 2000. It has had a huge success, so that it is now
represented in 85 countries around the world.
Everybody can
take part.
