HUMAN LIBRARY EVENT
Don’t judge a book by its cover!
What if you could talk and interact with a book?
Turn the pages of these human books and 'read' or hear about the different countries represented in our community. Each station will feature a human book from a specific country where you can read and/or interact with the "book" (i.e., a person) and learn about different aspects from that country such as culture, language, cuisine and/or ask the book questions!
Benefits:
- Increase your intercultural competency!
- Unjudge someone!
- Become a global citizen!
- Get to know about resources in your community for newcomers!
- Get to know your neighbor!
- Be a part of creating a sense of community and belonging!
