As a following activity during the workshop, we introduced you to the concept of the Living Library, a powerful tool for promoting understanding, empathy, and dialogue among diverse individuals.
During that activity, you:
- Explore Biases and Stereotypes: Through the "Step Forward" game, you experienced how privilege affects lives differently and reflect on your own perceptions and prejudices.
- Discovered the Living Library: You learned about the history, philosophy, and values of the Living Library, including inclusion, diversity, empathy, and non-judgmental dialogue.
- Engaged in Meaningful Discussions: You questioned why we "Judge a book by its cover" and understand how the Living Library creates a safe space for marginalized voices to be heard.
This activity encourages open dialogue, challenges stereotypes, and helps participants become more aware of their biases, promoting a more inclusive mindset.
As additional resources, you can find the PowerPoint presentation used during the workshop and the complete guide to the game “Take a Step Forward.” Use it to refresh your memory and catch up on what you missed!
Take a look at the following video and listen carefully to Ronni Abergel, one of the founders of Human Library methodology and organization, and his perspective and experience in this field.
