Description
Everyone has a story to tell, and the Human Library provides a perfect venue and opportunity to share it. Volunteers take on the roles of “human books” and students community members become “human readers”. The “human books” then share their stories with the readers, in a one-on-one conversation. Originating in Denmark, the Human Library teaches about the power of conversation, and encourages positive interactions with all humans.
