What's the Human Library?

The Human Library is an event that encourages real conversations with real people. It is a safe space to ask questions about difficult issues. An opportunity to challenge stereotypes, a chance to unjudge someone.

At this event, you can choose to "borrow" a person for a rare 30-minute conversation, and have a chance to have a meaningful conversation with someone you may never have had a chance to before. 

#EachForEqual

This year's International Women's Day theme is #EachForEqual, an initiative to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women's achievements. It's aim is to help create a gender equal world.
