The software giant is turning towards a more analog format, when it comes to working with diversity and inclusion.
It started in 2018 with an invitation to present the Human Library at Microsoft’s annual flagship diversity event known as the “Confluence” in Hyderabad.

The more than 100 readers that took part in the “Reading Hall” were quite enthusiastic about their outcomes and so this year, the Human Library has been invited to expand our collaboration with Microsoft in India.

More events across India

This means that in connection with the 2019 Confluence week activities, the Human Library will deliver events at Microsoft locations across India. The entire week from April 8-12 will offer opportunities for Microsoft staff to become readers of the Human Library.

Events are scheduled to take place in the cities of Bangalore, Mumbai, Gurgaon and bringing the week to an end with more than 200 readers expected at the Confluence main event in Hyderabad on the 12th of April.

Local book depots to supply the content

The many events and the content we are publishing will be delivered from our book depots in the same cities. The Human Library has book depots in operation in twelve of the largest cities in India.

At the Human Library we are honored to be working with Microsoft on the important mission of building inclusive workplaces and enabling people and organizations to better reap the many advantages of our diversity.
