THE HUMAN LIBRARY TRANSFORMS INTO DIWAN
What is it about?
The Dīwān, formerly known as the Human Library, is a social and educational initiative aimed at promoting understanding, tolerance, and empathy among individuals.
It operates as a living library, where “Human Books” are actually people with unique life experiences or particular perspectives on various subjects such as diversity, prejudice, mental health, activism, immigration, and many others.
The “readers” of this library can borrow (listen to) these “Human Books” for authentic conversations and exchanges, asking questions, listening to their stories, and challenging their own preconceived ideas.
Each human book represents a group in our society that often faces prejudice, stigma, or discrimination due to their way of life.
For one evening, this event aims to challenge prejudices, stereotypes, and taboos and open up dialogue with people we don’t often meet.
So, are you interested? Take a comfortable seat on a “divan” and let’s meet the Other.
