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.”
