Hobart Human Library

Hobart Human Library The Hobart Human Library is a library just like any other - except the books are real, living people You can also find more here: www.afairerworld.org/hhl

The Hobart Human Library uses the art of storytelling to break down barriers and build empathy. The library provides a comfortable space for ‘readers’ to speak informally with a human ‘book’. The ‘books’ are Tasmanians who have experienced stereotyping, prejudice or discrimination - perhaps because of their culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, appearance or wellness. For schools, the Hob

art Human Library workshop has been developed to support the Respectful Schools and Workplaces Framework. It is also the first step in our Let's Get Together diversity education program. For workplaces, the Hobart Human Library can be a key component of diversity and inclusion training and we offer follow-on workshops in Unconscious Bias, Inclusive Language and Inclusion Strategies. Please get in contact for more information or to enquire about booking.

Our Story

Download brochure at www.afairerworld.org/hhl Human libraries are used around the world as a simple way for people to build understanding and face their prejudices.

The Hobart Human Library is just like any other library... the only difference is that the books are real, living people! Our ‘books’ are skilled community educators who share their stories about experiencing stereotyping, prejudice or discrimination - perhaps because of their culture, gender, religion, sexual orientation, appearance or wellness. The library sets up a comfortable space for people to ‘read’ the stories that the ‘books’ have to tell and speak informally, in a supported environment, about the issues that they touch on.

The #HobartHumanLibrary can be booked for public or private events. It is well suited to schools (for #HumanRightsEducation, #ValuesEducation or #DiversityEducation) and workplaces (for #DiversityAndInclusionTraining). The Hobart Human Library is a project of #AFairerWorld. To make a booking or get more information, get in touch: (03) 6223 1025 or [email protected]
