Human Library
The Human Library is based on a very simple idea: that conversation is key to
understanding. The global, hands-on learning platform, which is based in
Denmark, works to create a safe framework for personal conversations that can
help to challenge prejudice and discrimination, prevent conflicts, and
contribute to greater human cohesion across social, religious, and ethnic
divisions. People who can help defy stereotypes volunteer to serve as books, and
with their readers enter into conversations where difficult questions are
expected, appreciated, and received with an open heart. International
coordinator Alma Pripp shares more about how the Human Library is working to
help create more inclusive and cohesive communities around the world.
