In Denmark, there are libraries where you can borrow a person instead of a book to listen to their life story for 30 minutes. The goal is to fight prejudice. Each person has a title - "unemployed." "refugee," "bipolar," and etc. - but listening to their story you realize how much you shouldn't "judge a book by its cover." This innovative project is active in 85+ countries. It is called The Human Library.
“Before you call yourself a Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu or any other theology, learn to be human first.”
