Human Library

Part of the Festival of Migration collection The first Human Library in Scotland. Come and have a frank chat with a human book! This is a drop-in event, you don’t need to book tickets! What is the Human Library? In the best sense of the word, The Human Library is a library of people and their experiences with prejudice. However, instead of paperback books, actual people are on loan for conversations. The concept is about acknowledging and challenging the prejudice that we all carry towards one another. For that reason, the Human Library creates a safe space for conversation where topics subject to taboo, marginalization, or stigmatization can be openly addressed without condemnation. The people acting as Human Books have directly or indirectly been exposed to prejudice, bias, or discrimination based on aspects of their person, heritage, or life experiences. At the Human Library, we invite all questions and our Human Books engage in sharing their personal experiences with our readers…. Come along, grab a cuppa and select a book – you will be glad you did!!! —————————————————————————— About Human Library: The concept of the Human Library started in Copenhagen, Denmark and now it is a global platform.
