Human Library to open in Cape Town
We are happy to announce the commencement of…
For Reading Garden opening hours see "Upcoming Events".
“This event helps the Museum facilitate public dialogue about important human-rights issues. Building linkages to the community and promoting human-rights education is an important part of our role.”
“This helped me better understand myself and honestly, I mean “Human Library”, sounded kind of square to me, so I had never expected it to be such a powerful and moving experience.”
“I went to an event several years ago in CT and my husband and I still talk about it often. We’d love to host one in our town.”
The Human Library is designed to build a positive framework for conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue. The Human Library is a place where real people are on loan to readers. A place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered. The Human Library is a danish idea from 2000 and is now available in more than 80 countries.
