What
The purpose of a Human Library is to meet face-to-face with individuals who belong to groups that often face challenges or discrimination due to broad generalizations, stereotyping, misunderstanding and even marginalization.
The Human Library is an opportunity for learning and personal development. It is a tool to foster understanding and bring people closer together in mutual and careful respect for the human dignity of the individual. It breaks down barriers, encourages open dialogue and fosters an inclusive environment.
