As part of the WAMCF Interfaith team, I helped to organize a ‘Living Library’ event for the Windsor & Maidenhead Interfaith Group. There are nine diffrent faiths/belief in the group: Baháʼí, Brahma Kumaris, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Humanism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism.
A ‘Living Library’ is a brilliant way to challenge prejudice and discrimination.
It works just like a normal library: visitors can browse the catalogue for the available titles, choose the Book they want to read, and borrow it for a limited period of time. After reading, they return the Book to the library and, if they
want, they can borrow another. The only difference is that in the Living Library, Books are people, and reading consists of a conversation.
It can used wherever a group is facing discrimination be it gender, race, age, disability and so on.
