Podcasts about human library

The Human Library's human "books" share on topics they care about, and those who "read" ask them questions. We spoke with its founder, Ronni Abergel. Here's what we talk about in this episode: Alternative, Communication, Creativity, Culture, Humanity, Inclusion, LGBTQ, Racism

“Underneath the experience of loneliness is always a longing”. It is not part of our human nature to isolate ourselves from others – yet this is increasingly the reality of modern-day societies. Our physical environments (such as car-centric cities and single-person homes), our technologies (such as social media), and our attitude towards work (i.e. careerism and the false promise of busyness) are no longer affording us the same opportunities to connect as before.Monika Jiang warns us that “connection must not be consumed” and urges us to slow down to realise what it is that we need and long for – and to be able to give our undivided attention to the people around us. Through examples such as the Offline Club in the Netherlands and the Human Library in Denmark, we can perhaps start to shape new (and old) communities. Because when we return to ourselves, we can also return to the world – and the understanding that we are not separate from nature but rather a part of it.

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.

You can't judge a book by its cover. And, that's true when it comes to a “human” library book as well. 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.

To know Arline Christ--creative artist, empathic teacher--is to love her bright smile and undaunted enthusiasm. She's one of those people who you know will always cheer you on, offer hugs in tough times, and bring sunny color wherever she goes! Studio B's event, modeled after the non-profit initiative The Human Library that began in Denmark, inspired Arline to share the really awful events of her early childhood that she's chosen to keep hidden throughout her life--not wanting to be judged or misunderstood. She stands as the poster child of resilience. Hear her story; sharing it was cathartic for Arline and unbelievably inspiring.

Artist Joe Szimhart headed west after college to make his way as a working artist and find his life's purpose. His explorations led him to joining a cult. As part of Studio B's event modeled after Denmark's The Human Library, Joe shared his research, how his experiences as a cult member have affected his life, and some advice to others. Find Joe's podcast "Cults in the Occulture" on YouTube; read Robert Jay Lifton's Losing Reality: On Cults, Cultism, and the Mindset of Political and Religious Zealotry.

On August 7, 2022, Studio B hosted an event modeled after Denmark's unique non-profit The Human Library that began over 20 years ago and is now found in over 80 countries or cities around the world. Host Jane Stahl shares some of the comments from the "Discovery Statements" that were left by the human "books" and those who listened. Shared among all: "Folks are just like me," "Let's do this again," and "Life's challenges are growth-producing opportunities; listening to them inspires compassion and a determination not to judge." Jane also announced a new initiative "coming soon": A digital news site "The Boyertown Area Expression" offering feature stories about people, events, and opportunities in and around this "special kind of place" that will be available by email. Stay tuned and subscribe to learn more about the special humans among us!

In many countries instead of checking out a book people can go to the library and talk to someone about their special experiences.

Ronni Abergel is an author and founder of the Human Library Organization, where real people with real stories are on loan to readers instead of books. At the Human Library, people have the opportunity to talk with others who are often discriminated against to find out about their lives and to get a better idea of what's it like to be them. A man who is deeply committed to facilitating communication and making our society a less judgemental place, Ronni started the Human Library at a festival in Denmark 20 years ago and it is now located in 85 countries across the world. This conversation covers a lot, including the collective intolerance of the intolerant, our lack of curiosity and the power of conversation. We also discuss the process of changing people's opinions and perspectives on issues and how this usually takes an extended period of time. This serves as inspiration for having conversations with people we disagree strongly. We won't change their mind immediately and vice versa but if there is curiosity and respect, greater understanding can be achieved. If you want to learn more about Ronni and The Human Library, check the link below in the show notes. Finally, thanks to Ronni for his time.

Susan LeClair, former English teacher and one of Jane's favorite lunch dates, served as juror for the prize awards for Studio B's 9th book of poetry, prose, and art: "Transforming Moments: Finding Our Voice." In this episode Susan shares some of the considerations that informed her decisions. Then, in an update about the Human Library program, schedule for August 7, 2002, Jane shared that the response to her invitations to participate have been received enthusiastically. Participants will share their experiences living with "Depression," "ADHD" "Cults," "Autism," "Adoption," for example. In addition, on July 10, 17, 24, and 31, Jane invites folks to the studio with a book in hand--a book that is often banned from public school libraries and curriculum. Lessening prejudice, stereotyping, stigma, fears, and concerns about people and books is the mission of the summer programs.

In this episode host Jane Stahl shares details about upcoming events at Studio B during summer 2022 that focus on our experiences that made us who we are. “Be Inspired by WORDS” is the theme for the summer's art exhibit sponsored by a grant from the Boyertown Community Charitable Fund through Berks County Community Foundation. "Transforming Moments: Finding Our Voice" is the title of the studio's 9th book of poetry, prose, and art co-edited by Jane and Mish (Eileen) Murphy in which over 50 writers share moments that changed them. Jane also announces the mission and schedule in July of conversations of books often banned and the studio's August version of Denmark's brilliant and innovative project to promote understanding and empathy: "The Human Library." Finally, Jane challenges folks to offer construction solutions in our community beyond the "blame game" presented by columnist Star Parker to address the cultural and spiritual crisis of the sense of meaningless and the resulting violence experienced primarily by young men in today's culture--solutions that may actually be inspired by the literature explored during the Summer at the Studio 2022.

Ten minutes is all it took between the moment I came across a post about The Human Library and the moment I sent an invitation to its founder, journalist and social change activist, Ronni Abergel, today's guest. The Human Library is an international not-for-profit organisation, which started in Copenhagen, Denmark, 22 years ago, and is now available in 85 countries and 50 languages. Just as you borrow a printed book from your community's library, you can borrow a human book from one of the many book depots The Human Library is running across the world. You choose a title – homeless, bisexual, bipolar, transgender, to name but a few – from a reading list of people from your community, who are facing stigmas and exclusion on a daily basis, and you spend 30 minutes with your book. You're given a neutral space to listen and ask questions. How you choose to read your human book is up to you. To quote Ronni's words, ‘We are in charge of our learning outcomes. It is our courage and curiosity, which define the experience and what we get to talk about. This means that no two readings nor events are the same'. My very first Human Library event, a couple of weeks before recording this conversation, was unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. I arrived in rainy Norwich feeling curious and excited, and as I was about to read my very first human book, a man with Asperger's syndrome, I suddenly felt anxious, uncomfortable, and vulnerable. By the time he started telling me what his life had been like, about the judgements, the challenges, but also his passions and interests, I decided I would do my best to read as many books as was possible that day. I read five and, on the train back to Cambridge, I felt uplifted, exhilarated, and vulnerable still. An unlikely combination, perhaps, but one that reminded me that connecting with others and overcoming our fears and prejudices, means exploring our own humanity in the most creative way possible, because it means using our imagination and empathy to relate to somebody's else experience, however different it might seem. Today Ronni shares his take on creativity and why running The Human Library feels like a calling. He describes the process of developing a sustainable model and reviewing it on a regular basis, and of creating book depots across the world, putting ethical boundaries when selecting human books and tailoring reading lists to corporate and institutional partners. We discuss what it means to acknowledge our unconscious biases, inherent to our survival instinct, and own them, in order to potentially ‘unjudge' others, a term embraced by The Human Library which, I hope, will soon make its way into our dictionaries. When I started this podcast in January 2020, I didn't know where it would take me. All I knew, was that I wanted to explore creativity in all its shapes and forms and meet all manner of creative people. Since then, I've had a wide range of guests from different parts of the world talking about our shared creativity and humanity. The fact that two years on, I am now introducing a conversation between a Dane, and myself, a French woman, recorded in English, about what brings us together as human beings, about our prejudices, fears, and vulnerability, but also the immense creativity we have at our disposal to overcome those and help us connect with one another, makes me feel not only very grateful, but also proud, so I hope you will enjoy it. ABOUT THE CREATIVITY FOR ALL PODCAST A maths teacher can be creative. So can a financial adviser, a community builder, and a yoga teacher. Not to mention a speed painter, a potter, or an actor! Creativity is everywhere and I love nothing more than to explore it in The Creativity for All Podcast, either by focusing on a theme – such as perfectionism, feeding your creative brain, or the pressure to be creative – in my solo episodes, or through my conversations with all manner of creative people. I want to challenge the perception of creativity and, in the process, debunk many myths attached to it: it's painful, for artists and the chosen few, etc.

Whether you love Microsoft Word or detest it, you probably use it. It's possible to customize Word so that it works the way you want it to, but the settings aren't always obvious or easy to find. In Short Circuits: Just about everyone has seen the "we couldn't deliver your package" email scam that's usually intended to steal your login credentials or to install malware on your computer. There's now a multi-part scam that's intended to clean out your entire bank account. If you fall for it, there's no way to get your money back. • A Danish organization, the Human Library, says its goal is to eliminate stereotypes by making it possible for people to interact with others they might not normally encounter.

Could the answer to our disconnect be a program in 80 countries that allows you to borrow a person—a refugee, a sex worker, a police officer—and ask them anything you want?

This week Jess and Joe talk about the way we collect data and why it's important to question our methods so that we don't unintentionally leave groups and people out. Surveying theatre organizations based solely on this size of their budget means you get results skewed away from organizations that serve communities of color, but a study at SMU's DataArts aimed to refocus that lens. Additionally, they discuss the concept of a human library where you can speak to a person from a historically stigmatized group and hopefully change your misconceptions. Many stories of optimism in this week's episode, enjoy!
