CONNECT ·2015 Grants ChallengeLos Angeles Human Library
The SIJCC proposes LA’s first city-wide Human Library initiative. The Library provides a forum for people to engage in difficult conversations and gain a deeper understanding of diverse human experiences. Participants “check out” individuals who have volunteered to act as “books” labeled with titles that specify a topic or neighborhood they represent. Through guided conversation, participants are better able to connect to others in their community.
