Imagine borrowing a person from your local library in the same way you would borrow a book.That's what the Human Libraries propose !
The Human Library is designed to fight against stereotypes and prejudices.
How ? Instead of borrowing books, you "borrow" someone for 30 minutes who tells you about his life, a story he wants to share. All kinds of "human books" are available from the junkie to the drag queen, the noun to the ex-prisonner
Since the launch of the concept in Denmark, it has developed in all the continents with hundreds of events per year.
You can even find permanent Human Libraries in more than 30 cities.
Who wants to borrow me ?
