Today, the airport in Khartoum was scheduled to reopen for the first time since the start of the country's civil war two years ago. But a series of drone strikes near the airport put the kibosh on those plans. Also, Copenhagen's Human Library lends people who volunteer to be “open books" in one-on-one conversations with "readers." These books share a wide range of personal perspectives — from being a trans woman or military veteran to being a police officer or sex worker. And, sleeper trains are making a comeback around the world. Plus, daytime coffee raves are on trend for twenty-something-year-olds in Barcelona.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

This episode comes to us from independent journalist Scott Gurian. In the Nørrebro neighborhood of Copenhagen, there's a small building with a garden and wooden seats. At first glance, it looks like some sort of neighborhood cafe, but it's actually the Menneskebiblioteket or Human Library, where the "readers" and "books" are people having deeply personal and intimate conversations about topics that might normally be considered off-limits or taboo in polite society. The library is staffed by volunteers whose life stories and experiences mean they face some sort of stigma, whether it be due to their ethnicity, religion, orientation, occupation, disability, or social status.Gurian visited the Human Library and produced this episode for his award-winning documentary-style travel and culture podcast Far from Home. Since its beginning in Denmark, the Human Library concept has now spread to more than 80 countries on 6 continents.

The Human Library is a groundbreaking initiative founded in Copenhagen in 2000, where instead of borrowing books, visitors "borrow" people — volunteers who share their personal stories and experiences to challenge prejudice and foster understanding.In this episode, founder Ronni Abergel shares the origins of the project, its global expansion to over 80 countries, and the careful process of selecting and supporting "books" to ensure a safe, respectful environment for both storytellers and readers.The episode delves into the transformative power of these encounters, both for the volunteers and the public, and discusses the challenges of maintaining the project in a changing social and corporate landscape. This is the extraordinary story of an ongoing mission to break down barriers, one conversation at a time.Find out more about the Human Library at https://humanlibrary.org/.Visit www.archipelagoaudio.com for more information.

In this episode I speak with Celesty, a registered social worker and music educator committed to intersectional practice. With experience across domestic violence, refugee support, and community development, she centres healing, autonomy, and relational care. As a queer, neurodivergent professional with South Indian heritage, Celesty draws from ancestral resilience, person-centred frameworks, and creative pedagogy to walk alongside those impacted by systemic violence. Her work is grounded in cultural humility, lived accountability, and the belief that everyone deserves dignity and not discipline.Links to resources mentioned in this week's episode:It's Going to be OK podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/0pqULMk8JpPYwgNvRdQuQn?si=d17dc110a58845be&nd=1&dlsi=48bda940e1f046f6The Great Indian Kitchen film - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-55919305Gaycation TV series - https://www.vicetv.com/en_us/show/gaycationBangalore's Human Library article - https://lbb.in/bangalore/human-library-bangalore/A Migrant's Story at Randwick Council - https://www.randwick.nsw.gov.au/library/creative-hub/library-exhibitions/migrant-story-2014This episode's transcript can be viewed here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oifPuHrd1QANUFS-phmfp88xy5XUgOdmbSUIUxi4S40/edit?usp=sharingThanks to Kevin Macleod of incompetech.com for our theme music.

History was brought to life this spring when McCallie sixth graders participated in the school's first “Human Library” day. The brainchild of Middle School English teacher Weesie Cook and Middle School Learning Center Director Kelcey Watson, the “Human Library” brought community leaders in medicine, education, law, and race relations to campus to share their life stories with the students. In this episode of Stories From the Ridge, which was recorded in mid-May 2024, Head of School Lee Burns '87 talks with Ms. Cook and Mr. Watson about the program, its impact on students, and plans for future “Human Library” events. A news story about the “Human Library” can be read here.

Imagine walking into the library because you're interested in finding a book that will help you better understand a particular topic. You walk up to the circulation desk, tell the librarian what you're interested in learning more about, and they say, “I've got just the book for you. Wait here.” So, the librarian walks into the back and returns with the book. Only in this library, the books—are people. Because this is the human library. You're not going to hear from me a lot in this episode, because I want to leave the story to the people who are best equipped to tell it: the founder of the organization in Copenhagen, the manager of the New York City Human Library, and Brian Belovitch, one of their books.

This evening, our show theme is curated from our HUMAN LIBRARY catalog titled What I Know Now. You often hear me say everyone has a story. And you know, I also believe that everyone is a story. Each of our stories reflects a journey, not a destination, a process, not an event. We are continually moving, continually growing, continually becoming. As long as we breathe, the end of our story has not yet been written. That means we have opportunities to edit the plot of our story to reflect our physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional evolution. Author Maya Angelou   says, "There is no greater agony than hearing an untold story inside you." Let that resonate for a second. Life coach and author Iyanla Vanzant believes in her story, and I quote, “Life will work for me when I realize I have everything I need within me to create everything I want out there. My guest this week believes all that exists between perceiving something as negative or positive is choice. She is a dynamically unfolding story; a journey, and a process.  She is a student. She is a teacher. She is a survivor. She is hope. So, sit back, listen, and learn things as Ms. Lynnie Vessels joins us at the FS Table. Her story, so far, reads of survival and a grateful spirit. Educator, author, and inspirational speaker, Ms Lynnie Vessels.

At Morton College in Cicero Thursday, you can visit a “human library.” No, we're not kidding. It's a library where you can “check out” a person — like you would a book — to listen to their life story. Each “reader” can ask questions that you might avoid in polite conversation. Reset spoke with Prairie Markussen, organizer of a “human library” event at Morton College, and Alejandro Joleanis, a human “book” participating in the library.

I intentionally created Frankly Speaking with Tyra G with an intergenerational, multicultural audience in mind. Thematic content helps keep our stories fresh and relevant. This evening, our story is curated from our HUMAN LIBRARY theme: Voices From the Future. Hearing the next generations' hopes, dreams, and concerns is always delightful. It serves as a kind of report card on how we are doing. Legacy is an interconnection across time, with a need for those who have come before us and a responsibility to those who come after us. We need to understand that the world isn't connected by molecules. Stories, traditions, memories, hopes, and dreams connect it. Legacy is truly about life and living. My guest this week is a student of life and living extraordinaire, Her conversation will give us a snapshot of how we are doing and how she is responding to the world we have given her. She is a member of Generation Z, the generation reaching adulthood in the second decade of the 21st century. A generalized generational definition describes her generation. As the first social generation to have grown up with access to the Internet and portable digital technology from a young age, members of Generation Z have been dubbed "digital natives.” Okay, but wait, what does that mean in terms of how they live life? Sit back, take a listen, and be inspired. Then, share and subscribe.

The Human library Returns to The House of Wow Ibiza and this time we were talking tech.  After the emergence of the islands very first Ibiza Tech Forum in April, we debated whether Ibiza could become a real tech hub for start ups, investors and developers? We questioned what is holding the island back from achieving its dreams to reset the narrative of what it is known for and what is needed to attract more a more tech  focussed entrepreneurial crowd and tech creatives in the scene. Tech Forum founder Jesse Krieg Mora grew up on the island and also runs his own start up Admefy which is a simple media content manager. He explained in depth about the government funding available, tax loops holes for start ups and the moment he noticed the tech scene start to thrive on ibiza. Jess Ramon Brown also grew up on ibiza and runs Green tech start up Enverse Labs.  He now lives in Madrid and say community there is huge for start ups and Ibiza is still a little short on talent and network for him to stay here full time. Swiss-born impact entrepreneur, Alessa Berg  also joined our panel after very recently moving to ibiza. Her thought leadership sits at the intersection of positive impact and emerging technologies.  She is the founder and CEO of Top Tier Impact (TTI) and is involved in the global ecosystem of impact investors,  entrepreneurs, professionals and public figures across more than 45 countries.  TTI's investment unit facilitates investments into growth-stage impact tech companies across emerging markets, such as the $100m debt investment into Wave Mobile Money. Hear an in depth conversation about the ways Ibiza is working towards becoming a tech hub and plans for next years Tech Forum.

In todays Episode we hear the first in a series of live talks I am hosting on Ibiza, under the banner of The Human Library. For Edition 01 I invited Tiffanie Darke who has spent most of her career in fashion as an editor, journalist, author and most recently, shopkeeper in Ibiza and Neliana Fuenmayor of A Transparent Company to join me at The House of Wow to talk about the world of sustainable fashion and how we can make the whole process more transparent and create accountability to be able to track items from farm to hanger. If you liked the podcast and wish to create your own series, our next podcast course takes place 04 & O5 September here in ibiza over 2 days 10-4pm, so you can hit the beach after class and get inspired.

Mayors across California are feeling the pressure to reduce street homelessness and tent encampments. So, they're increasingly turning to temporary housing as a solution. But investments in shelters could come at the expense of permanent housing. Reporter: Guy Marzorati, KQED California prides itself on being a diverse state. But actually connecting people who have radically different life experiences can be a challenge. The Santa Monica public library is hosting events to encourage deep one-on-one conversations between people from different backgrounds. It's called a “Human Library.”  Reporter: Claire Wiley

At This Library, You Check Out a Human, Not a Book — and Sit Down to Talk California prides itself on being a diverse state that welcomes folks from all kinds of backgrounds. But actually connecting people who have radically different life experiences — that can be a challenge. The Santa Monica Public Library is hosting events to encourage deep one-on-one conversations between people from different backgrounds. Reporter Clare Wiley tells us about “The Human Library.”   ‘It's All I've Wanted': How an Innovative Bay Area Training Program Is Helping This Fire Victim Become a Firefighter In the fall of 2017, Lupe Duran was overwhelmed with feelings of loss and uncertainty. The Tubbs Fire had just killed 22 people and decimated thousands of homes in Santa Rosa, including his own. A welding student at the time, it occurred to him he should become a firefighter, like the professionals he'd seen save people's homes. Through an ad, he found the FIRE Foundry, a nonprofit collaboration of the Marin County Fire Department, local organizations and universities. The organization offers free educational services and support aimed at propelling women and people of color into sustainable careers in the fire service. KQED's Farida Jhabvala Romero reports. How the Oceano Dunes Became a Refuge for Artists and Writers in the 1920s Just south of Pismo Beach, along California's Central Coast, the Oceano Dunes are a popular recreation spot for locals and tourists alike. It's one of the few state parks where people can drive motorized vehicles on the sand. But those dunes also hold some little known history. For two decades, starting in the 1920s, the dunes were home to a colony of artists, writers and intellectuals called “Dunites.” KCBX's Benjamin Purper reports it was a place where they could live freely and make art without much money.

Imagine sitting down with someone you think you don't like and realizing, after just two hours, that they're actually an ally. In a powerful conversation, we chat with our longtime friend and Human Library founder, Ronnie Abergel, about how his unique project has the remarkable ability to break down barriers and change people's perspectives. We journey through Ronnie's passion for helping others, from his days working at a hospital to starting the Stop the Violence movement, and learn how that passion eventually led him to create the Human Library.Together, we explore the importance of respecting everyone's right to be in the library and dive into the complexities of our humanity. Ronnie shares his personal experiences with grief, relationships, and finding happiness, emphasizing the importance of staying present and appreciating the moments we have. We also discuss the power of volunteering and how it can dismantle fear and create connections in our lives.Join us as we reflect on the impact of the Human Library and the beautiful stories of transformation that have come from it. We discover the opportunities it offers for personal growth and finding common ground with those we might have once dismissed.  Embark on this inspiring journey with us as we learn from Ronnie Abergel and the incredible impact of the Human Library movement.Connect with The Human LibraryWebsite: https://humanlibrary.org/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ @humanlibraryorganization5724 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/humanlibraryorg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/humanlibraryorganization/Twitter: https://twitter.com/thehumanlibraryLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/human-library-organization/ Support the showPODCAST INFOPodcast website: http://theconrad.family/podcast YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/theconradfamily365Apple Podcasts: https://www.theconrad.family/apple Spotify: https://theconrad.family/spotify RSS: https://theconrad.family/rss SUPPORT & CONNECTSupport on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Theconradfamily Share a review: https://www.theconrad.family/review-our-podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconrad.familyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theconradfamilyTwitter: https://twitter.com/theconradfamily

Can a book tell as much as a person? In the capital of Denmark, there's a library where visitors can "check out" people's personal life stories. They can then ask questions and listen.

Today Jan is joined by Leanne who is here to share her story of repressing her severe sexual abuse as a child for 35 years only to have a bad relationship bring up all of the damage. This not only led her to seek help, but through that help she has become an advocate for speaking out about abuse and through her volunteer work as a book with The Human Library she has been able to teach others how to un-judge those who have been sexually abused as a child that didn't speak up at the time.This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp Online Therapy.

The Human Library is, in the true sense of the word, a library of people. Readers can borrow human beings, serving as open books and have conversations they would not normally have access to. Every human book represents a group in society that is often subjected to prejudice or discrimination because of their lifestyle, diagnosis, belief, disability, social status, ethnic origin etc. To tell us more, Sean was joined by Ruth Fagan, leader of the Human Library Project in Galway.

What if there was a way to help people meet and talk with others whose lives are very different (or not!) from their own? The Human Library does just that, by creating a safe space for dialogue, an opportunity for challenging stigma and stereotypes, and the chance to "unjudge" someone.  Co-founder and CEO Ronni Abergel joins me to talk about "publishing" people as "open books." Others come to the library as "readers." And then the magic happens.

As part of a unique community project, The Gwinnett County Public Library System is rolling out a project called, “Unjudge Someone: A Human Library Program.” It features dialogues with people discussing their experiences of being stereotyped.Also, we revisit our 2019 conversation with the incomparable and newly minted Emmy Award winner Sheryl Lee Ralph.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bathrooms. Pronouns. Sports. These are a few of the topics in which transgender people have become the center of a debate on who is allowed to exist and where.    Join J.R. Jamison and Kelsey Timmerman as they explore Beyond the Binary and share the stories of a trans man's journey with hormone therapy; a non-binary person who found acceptance at home; and a pastor who struggled with her faith and identity before finding peace. Later in the show, they are joined by Charlize Jamieson, a transgender “book” in the Human Library.    Image – Non-Binary Pride Flag, inspired by Kye Rowan.  Stories –   Superman Shea Hollis Beal's story as told to Cory Ross from Facing Intolerance in Springfield, Ohio, performed by Patrick Oneal They Will Always Be My Child C.S.
