    REFUGEE WEEK- HUMAN LIBRARY EVENT - JUNE 19 

  

In recognition of Refugee Week in June, we have invited a group of newly arrived people to talk about their experiences of living in Pearl Cove at a Human Living Library event.
 



What is a Human Library?

It operates the same as an everyday library, except people are borrowed rather than books. 
You can borrow a person for 20 minutes and have a conversation with them on why you like living in Pearl Cove.

 A refugee is a person who is forced to leave their home. At the end of 2017 there were 68.5 million people who were forcibly removed from their homes. This event hopes to address stereotypes and myths about refugees and fully support them into our Pearl Cove community.
