Human Library Estonia, managed by NGO Youth Club Active, is an official representative of Human Library Organization in Estonia, having received formal accreditation and recognition from the method developers in November 2018. All our events are compliant with Human Library concept and methodology regulations, and we aim to provide a quality experience for our Books and Readers. Our goal is to challenge stereotypes and prejudices, which often lead to stigma and discrimination, and to promote respect for diversity in local community. We offer our open events free of charge.

Human Library - is not your usual library: in the frames of this event it is people who play the role of Books. The aim of this event is to raise awareness of the population about a variety of social groups that are often discriminated or prejudiced against. The Books can be on such topics as religious and moral ideologies, different professions and hobbies, special needs of all kinds, sexual and ethnic minorities, and many more. The Living Books are ready and willing to share their stories in an open and honest positive dialogue.

Elav Raamatukogu - ei ole tavaline raamatukogu: selle ürituse raames inimesed saavad Raamatuteks. Ürituse eesmärk - tõsta rahvastiku teadlikkust erinevatest sotsiaalsetest gruppidest, keda tihti diskrimineeritatakse või kellest tehakse ebaõigeid eelarvamusi. Raamatute teemad võivad olla väga erinevad: religioossed või idioloogilised vaaded, ebatavalised ametid ja hobid, erilised vajadused, seksuaalsed ja etnilised vähemused ja palju muud. Elavad Raamatud on valmis rääkida oma loost vabas, ausas ja positiivses dialoogis Lugejatega.

Живая библиотека – это не привычная нам всем библиотека: в рамках этого мероприятия люди становятся Книгами. Цель мероприятия – повысить осведомлённость населения о разных социальных группах, часто подвергающихся осуждению или предвзятому отношению. Книги могут быть на самые разнообразные темы: религиозные или нравственные убеждения, нестандартные для общества профессии или хобби, особые потребности, сексуальные и этнические меньшинства и многое другое. Живые Книги готовы рассказывать свою историю в открытом, честном и позитивном диалоге с Читателями.
