[DeepL:] A living library consists of people instead of books - people with stories. In concrete terms, you will meet old and new neighbors with migration and flight histories and/or with East German biographies. You tell them your story and listen to theirs - what do they have in common? What differences? What surprises you?
The Living Neighborhood Library works like a real library, but with real people. This means that committed neighbors offer their life story as a 'living book" that readers can borrow for a conversation. We organize regular events for the exchange between volunteers and open storytelling cafés, where you can get to know The Living Neighborhood Library. The Living Neighborhood Library offers a protected space for all participants. Anyone who wants to become a "book" or take on another role in the Living Neighborhood Library, please contact us and together we will prepare in workshops to form stories from your own biography, which visitors of the library can get to know at events and in digital formats.
We all have a unique expertise - our own life experience. It's time for us to talk to each other and gain new perspectives on ourselves, each other, and the neighborhood we share!
