Human Libraries: Celebrating Refugee Week at the Foster Library

Foster Library

Monday 6th June 2022 1pm – 2pm

Human Libraries are a concept given direction by people in Denmark with their objective being to ‘unjudge someone’. This is the spirit of these gatherings.

Volunteers from our multiculturally diverse community, supported by a facilitator will share their story around a dinner table or lounge type arrangement, with plenty of time for questions and reflections. Sharing stories can be life affirming for the teller and a journey somewhere new for the listener. Refreshments will be provided (also life affirming!).

Bookings are preferred.

We have limited spaces available. If you are no longer able to make an event, please let us know so that others don’t miss out.

If you require more information, please phone us at the Foster Library on (03)5682 1735
