City Mosaic - Human Library
A human library is an event that brings together people from diverse backgrounds to share their stories and experiences with others. The concept of a human library is simple: instead of borrowing books, participants “borrow” human beings who serve as living books.
This human library event is part of City Mosaic 2023 and will be held at Milne Dam Conservation Park and features a variety of living books from Markham, each with a unique story to share. Markham is a diverse and multicultural city, with a rich history and vibrant community. The goal of the event is to showcase the diversity of Markham and provide a platform for the books to share their experiences and perspectives with others.
Objectives
- Promote understanding, empathy, and respect for diversity.
- By providing a platform for people to share their stories and experiences, we hope to break down stereotypes, reduce prejudice, and foster a more inclusive and accepting community.
