The UoH Human Living Library Project
Our University of Hull Human Living Library Project is a virtual library where human ‘books’ shed light on their experiences to help people understand one another, challenge their own unconscious bias, overcome stereotypes, and help build a more inclusive society where no one is left behind. Every ‘book’ is a university of hull community member who volunteer to share their stories this can include where they have faced stigma in their life due to a personal difference. Here, they are given the space to explain their perspective and experiences in order to help challenge prejudice, rid discrimination, prevent conflicts and contribute to greater human cohesion across social, religious and ethnic divisions. The Human Living Library contributes to a more inclusive culture here at UoH and supports whole organisational engagement and learning.
