a room for dialogue

The concept of the lively library aims to reduce prejudices and to enable respectful, trusting exchange about personal experiences. According to the website of lively library , participants can ask impartial questions that are often avoided. This happens at eye level and leads to valuable impulses for respectful interaction with each other.

Through personal conversations with so -called "living books", the participants are given the opportunity to immerse yourself in foreign worlds and to gain new insights and perspectives. This is particularly important to reduce stereotypes and prejudices so that a better understanding of each other can arise.

Registration for the event is not required, and the target group includes all interested visitors. The event is therefore an open invitation to discover new perspectives and actively go into dialogue.

The living library is not just a unique event, but a continuous concept for sensitization to prejudices and for promoting coexistence in our society.
