Human Library: A Journey through Canada’s Diversity

The purpose of the Human Library is to open dialogue to promote a better understanding of different human experiences and ways of thinking, especially around diversity and stereotypes of certain groups in the South Okanagan. Human Books are real people representing the title of their Book. Human Books represent groups of people that often face prejudice, stereotypes or racism. Our Human Books are community members who are open and willing to talk about their experiences. Our Human Books helped choose their titles and descriptions and openly invite you to read them and learn more – you can come to challenge yourself, or you can come as an informed reader wanting to know more. You can ask “What is it like to be you?”
