Human Library - Session 1

Check out "Human Books" who are willing to share their experiences.

Registration required

Unjudge someone today! The Human Library® is a place where the taboo can be broken; learn about other people as they share their stories. “Human Books” are individuals who are willing to share their experiences to inspire empathy and understanding. Whether their story is about overcoming challenges, embracing identity, or offering a unique perspective, one voice could make a difference. As a "reader," you will spend one-on-one time with a "human book" and hear what has shaped them in to the person they are today. The Human Library® is a safe space for open, one-on-one conversations where people can challenge stereotypes and foster understanding through dialogue. A “Human Book" will share their personal story to help others see beyond assumptions and connect in meaningful ways.
