Are you an open book with valuable life experiences that others could benefit from?
*June update: applications for the 2021 Human Library program have now closed. Thank you to all that have applied.*
Are you willing to share your unique story with others in person at our Brisbane campus library, answer uncomfortable questions and give people an opportunity to see life from a different perspective? Then volunteer to be a book in our inaugural Human Library on Tuesday 17 August 2021.
The Human Library is a program where readers (in this case ACU staff and students at our Brisbane campus) can check out Human Books for a one-on-one conversation. Human Books often represent people from all walks of life who have been stereotyped, marginalised or faced stigma or prejudice based on their ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity, sex, age, profession, lifestyle choices, economic or health status or other aspect of life. Through positive dialogue, the Human Library’s goals are to encourage new ideas and ways of thinking in a non-judgemental environment.
We are now accepting applications for Human Books and would love to hear from you! You can learn more about the ACU Human Library and send in an application by visiting our ACU Human Library website. If you are successful in becoming a Human Book you will be required to attend a training session on Tuesday 6 July at 2pm at our Brisbane campus library.
