Ronni Abergel, his brother Dany, and some colleagues hosted a fourday event during a major Northern European festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since. For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype. You can speak with a refugee (難民), a soldier suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own longheld beliefsto truly get to know, and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about. At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the bookmeaning they would have a oneonone conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individual39。s life.
