The project “Every Story(Teller) Matters – Human Libraries and Mutual Recognition” implemented a mobility for youth workers April 2024. 

During this mobility we produced some video recordings. In five video recordings, the youth workers reflect on three questions related to taking part in the mobility and in two video recordings, the youth reflect on being a book and being a reader.

In these video recordings, the youth workers reflect on three questions: 

1) What were your expectations when you decided to participate in this mobility? 

2) What does the Human Libraries mean in your opinion? 

3) What have you learned from this mobility?

Are you curious about how it is to participate in a Human Libraries event from the perspective of a reader? Or perhaps you are contemplating what it feels like to share your own story as a living book. The following testimonials feature video recordings of individuals who have taken on the role of books, sharing their narratives with a group of participants who have assumed the role of readers during the Youth Workers Mobility. These testimonials capture the heartfelt reactions of both the books and the readers.
