How to organize Living Library?

Ciao again! Welcome to the playlist that supports your journey of discovering the basic principles of the Living Library methodology and that will guide you towards successfully organizing it.
Before we dive deeper into the Living Library, we want to assure you that the Human Library and the Living Library are names for the same methodology, the same event, and the same approach!
Okay, now that we've cleared up this confusion, let's get started!
Behind the Living Library is one such simple idea:
Meet your own prejudice! Instead of talking about it, simply meet it.
Let's go again through the concept of the Living Library:
The Living Library works exactly like a normal library – readers come and borrow a book for a limited time. After reading it, they return the book to the library and – if they want – they can borrow another book. There is only one difference: the Books in the Living Library are human beings, and the Books and readers enter into a personal dialogue. The Books in the Living Library are people representing groups frequently confronted with prejudices and stereotypes, and who are often victims of discrimination or social exclusion. But only that, anyone can be a book!
Anyone willing to share their experience, and untangle the mysteries, myths, misunderstandings and prejudices. The 'reader' of the library can be anybody who is ready to talk about his or her own prejudice and stereotype and wants to share their time with our books. In the Living Library, Books cannot only speak, but they are able to reply to the readers' questions. Since dialogue is a two-way street, the Books can also ask questions and learn by themselves.
This playlist will support you in:
- Understanding the Living Library methodology and its social impact;
- Discovering how to recruit, train and support Living Books;
- Developing skills in event planning, coordination and promotion;
- Training volunteers in facilitation, active listening and conflict resolution;
- Ensuring inclusive and ethical storytelling practices.
- Getting familiar with practical strategies for planning and running smooth, impactful events.
- Learning how Living Library functions.
- Being equipped with the tools needed to organize a Living Library.
As you already know, all this is followed by:
- Exploring the concept of digital badges as a tool for recognizing learning achievements.
- Understanding how digital credentials can represent skills and learning.
- Learning how to reflect on personal achievements and track progress over time.
We are sharing with you a document that will provide you with more detailed guidance and illustrative examples:

Congratulations!
You've completed another step on your journey to understanding how the Living Library works!
After experiencing the process of searching for Living Books, interviewing them, and exploring their stories on site, the next step is to reflect on what you've learned. Along the way, you created an ideal Living Book profile—recognizing both the strengths to embrace and the flaws to avoid. You discovered who can become a Book and the importance of sharing personal stories. You then explored how to shape a Book’s narrative, how to find the right Book for a specific topic, and how to conduct meaningful interviews.
Let's define what Living Books are and what they are like:
Living Books are real people who volunteer to share their personal experiences, stories, and identities with others in a structured, dialogue-based setting. They often represent marginalized or discriminated groups—such as refugees, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, former addicts, and religious minorities—or people who work closely with these communities. However, anyone with a unique or impactful life story that can raise awareness, foster empathy, or promote inclusion may become a Living Book.
Key Learning Outcomes:
- Understanding the Living Book concept and the value of personal storytelling in breaking stereotypes.
- Identifying who can be a Living Book and recognizing the qualities to seek or avoid.
- Developing skills to shape and structure stories for clarity, emotional impact, and safety.
- Learning how to search for, select, and interview Living Books effectively and respectfully.
- Reflecting on personal learning journey, including ethical responsibilities and personal growth.
