Human Library - Take out a prejudice

Free Human Library Organizers Conference in London

The Human Library Organization is happy to announce the first UK Human Library Organizers Conference to take place on December 8th, 2009. The event is hosted by the Department for Communities and Local Government and the Human Library Organization. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for organizers to network and share their experiences. While also inviting potential new partners to join the free one-day session at Barking Learning Centre in East London.

A first national conference

Since the formal introduction of the Human Library in the United Kingdom in 2008, the concept has spread at a steady pace and it now engages more organizers than in Denmark. The one day London event will be the first ever national Human Library Conference for organizers and it aims to collect experiences, establish networks and aid the further distribution of the methodology in the UK.

Sign-up now

Participation is open to everyone with experiences from organizing a Human Library and those who want to become organizers or are about to host their first event. A maximum of 100 participants will be allowed to sign-up for participation and some consideration will be shown to ensure a geographical spread. The conference is organized with the support of the Department for Communities and Local Government under the Cohesion & Migration office.
