LIVING LIBRARY

A tool from Young Caritas Luxembourg and youngCaritas South Tyrol (Italy)

What do you do?
In a Living Library people serve as books. All people like disabled persons, refugees or elderly persons can share their life stories with an audience face to face. After talking to a living book for a while the people of the audience change to the next living book and life story. That way the Living Library provides direct contact between people of different environments.

What do you need?

  • people serving as living books
  • different rooms
  • short information sheet
  • about the people serving as living books
  • 2–3 hours
