Library

We all have our unique stories to tell, but is there anyone willing to listen? It seems that, yes, there is. In the Human Library Project, ‘readers’ have a chance to spend 30 minutes with a human book – volunteers who share their personal experiences on particular themes, with hundreds of book titles ranging from ADHD, Alcoholic and Autism to Solider (PTSD), Unemployed and Young Mother. The project’s by-line is “unjudge someone”, which gives some insight into the diversity and inclusion goal that motivated its Danish founders in 2000. Today, there are human libraries in 80 countries in six continents.
