FEM HUMAN LIBRARY – ANTHOLOGY ON MIGRATIONS 2020

On Sunday 13 December the library of human books on migrations returns, to be “read” in a special online event promoted together with Fondazione Empatia Milano as part of our project Distinti Ma Non Distanti. 

Stories of men, of routes and migrations. Empathy is at the heart of the FEM Human Library, the library of human books on stage on Sunday 13 December in an online event in which 15 “Human Books“, men and women from different routes, cultures and stories tell passages of their memory to the readers who will want to meet them in this special library.
It is back on Sunday 13 December, in online mode and in collaboration with our partner Fondazione Empatia Milano (FEM), one of the initiatives enriching the programme of Distinti ma non Distanti, our project funded by the Italian Cooperation Agency to promote knowledge of the universal values that mark differences as enrichment and not as threat, shortening the distances between individuals of different cultures and traditions. The values of empathy, that is, but also of non-violence and interdependence.

HOW DO YOU TAKE PART?
Taking part is very simple: just access here, browse the catalogue and book the “reading” of one of the 15 human books waiting to tell their story.

Human Library is a simple and innovative method, born in Denmark in 2000 and devised by a group of young people as a response to the racist assault suffered by one of their companions. It is based on a concrete approach to promote dialogue and understanding between individuals, thanks to “living books” who make their own story and experience available through face-to-face narratives, contributing effectively to dismantling stereotypes and preventing stigma. Their motto is: “Don’t judge a book by its cover”.
