The UoH Human Living Library Project
The University of Hull’s Human Living Library is a powerful virtual space where people become ‘books’ and stories come to life. Each book is a real person, a member of our university community, who generously shares their lived experience to open minds, spark empathy, and break down barriers. Through honest conversations and personal storytelling, the Human Living Library invites listeners to challenge unconscious bias, reflect on assumptions, and see the world through someone else’s eyes. It’s a chance to learn directly from others’ perspectives, to confront stereotypes, reduce prejudice, and foster a culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
By giving voice to diverse experiences, this project strengthens our collective understanding and helps build a more inclusive, compassionate University of Hull - one story at a time.
