Born in Copenhagen with stints to the Sinai and US. Leading the work of the HLO to embed the Human Library in communities around the world.

In Copenhagen, Denmark, there is a library with a unique selection of books. What makes it unique? It’s a Human Library. Each book is a person: someone in your community you’ve never spoken to, or someone you would have few chances to meet, whom you would thus be more inclined to form prejudices about. Recently, over 100 different companies have applied the Human Library approach to managing their businesses.What is the story behind the Human Library, and what has been the impact on the individuals participating, as well as on broader society? In this session, we hear from the man who started the Human Library over two decades ago.
