Living Books
In the framework of the Human Rights Defenders Exhibition, have the chance to meet the people and their stories.
A unique opportunity to meet and interact with “Living books”, or, books that are alive: people ready to share their stories, with valuable experience, willing to talk about their experience and knowledge about human rights.
This is a moment for disconnection, no presentations or screens, just a respectful setting with no taboos where we can all understand and accept our differences. Interaction and understanding are promoted here through a space for discussion and dialogue to combat stereotypes and preconceived ideas.
