The Human Library is a living library where the “books” are people with unique stories to share. During the event, you’ll have the opportunity to “borrow” a person for a conversation — a chance to hear personal experiences about life, identity, culture, and human rights that are rarely visible in everyday life.
The purpose of the Human Library is to challenge prejudice, increase understanding of differences, and build bridges between people through direct and personal contact. It’s an open and safe space where curious encounters can take place — and where every conversation is an opportunity to learn and grow.
The event is open to anyone interested in exploring human rights, identity, and community through dialogue. No prior knowledge is required — just an open mind.
Organized in collaboration with Rättighetscentrum Västerbotten.
