People are ‘open books’ at Copenhagen's Human Library
Update: 2025-10-22
Description
Copenhagen's Human Library lends people who volunteer to be “open books" in one-on-one conversations with "readers." These books share a wide range of personal perspectives — from being a trans woman or military veteran to being a police officer or sex worker. Since it opened 25 years ago, the nonprofit's mission to "unjudge" people has gained global traction with Human Library events hosted in over 85 countries. But, as the organization's founder told The World's Joshua Coe, these open-minded conversations seem increasingly unwelcome in today's climate of rising division.
