The “Living Library” in Sumy

On 24 of October Window on America center hosted new program the “Living Library”. The mission of the “Living Library” was to promote understanding and tolerance through dialogue.

The "Living Library" worked like our local library, however, the books our patrons borrowed  were "Living Books." The only difference was that in the "Living Library", books were people, and reading consisted of a conversation.  Living Books were PC volunteers who shared stories about their personal experiences. 4 Living Books communicated in small groups. Our "patrons" learned more about the United States, traditions, education, family life and asked questions they had always wanted to ask.  

The “Living Library” helped people to understand each other better.
