Although it is still spring, Creed has already received a snowdrop. Responsible for this nice surprise is the association Artfusion which gave us the opportunity to be partners in implementing the Living Library Project.
What is the Living Library?
Living library functions as a usual library; readers come and borrow books for a limited time. After "reading" books, they return them to the library. But there is one important aspect. Books in the library are people representing groups living or facing prejudices or stereotypes (gender, age, ethnicity, race, religion, etc...) And that could be victims of discrimination, social exclusion, or may be people with stories that would give the reader a unique experience of learning in the field of diversity and interculturalism. (For more details see the Living Library www.artfusion.ro).
The Living Library aims to promote respect for human rights and human dignity, to attract attention to diversity in all its forms, to stimulate dialogue between people.
The project is funded by the European Commission, the Youth in Action Programme.
