WHERE BOOKS TELL THEIR STORIES
The Living Library transcends the limits of traditional reading by allowing you to interact directly with living books, offering a unique opportunity to learn more about inspiring and singular life paths.

OUR GOAL
The Living Library’s primary mission is to celebrate diversity, encourage social inclusion and highlight social enterprises and positive impact initiatives. By engaging in direct conversations with individuals with unique life stories, we seek to broaden horizons, stimulate reflection, and foster tolerance of differences.
HOW IT WORKS
Imagine a traditional library, but instead of choosing a book, you choose a person representing various identities, origins and backgrounds Each living book is a person with a compelling story to share You then engage in a one-to-one conversation with your chosen living book, asking questions, sharing ideas and listening to their stories.
