“It is in your moments of decision that your
destiny is shaped.”
World No Tobacco Day 2021 – Commit to Quit
Monday 31 May is the
World Health Organization’s 34th World No Tobacco Day. This day raises
awareness about the dangers of tobacco use and exposure. It highlights national
and global efforts to fight the tobacco epidemic and protect future generations
from its harmful effects.
What is Human Library?
The Human Library is an event where real people are on loan to readers for a personal conversation and provides an opportunity for individuals to connect with people they may not normally have the occasion to speak to within their community, to learn and better understand the life experiences of others, to challenge their own assumptions, prejudices and stereotypes.
