Now the Human Library is a global movement,

many policy makers, universities and NGOs use
this tool to start a conversation, challenge
stereotypes and eliminate prejudices through

dialogue. An example is the University of Sydney
who adopted the concept, because: “Everyone

has a story to share. The Living Library provides
an opportunity for individuals to connect with
people they may not normally have the occasion

to speak to within their community, to better
understand the life experiences of others, and to

challenge their own assumptions, prejudices and
stereotypes. It provides a safe environment and
encourages active and engaging conversations so

that people can develop a greater understanding
of each other’s stories.”
