About this event
The Intercultural Living Library (ILL) fosters cultural interest and brings people together in mutual respect to embrace the dignity of various lived experiences. As a Service-Learning course project, the event promotes understanding between cultures.
Similar to a local library, visitors are ‘Readers’ who consider a display board of available titles, choose a ‘Book’ they would like to learn more about and ‘check it out’ within a small group (4-5 people) setting for a limited time (20-25 min). The only difference is that at our Living Library, Books are people, and reading consists of listening to individual life stories, asking questions and holding respectful dialogue. The event creates a positive framework for personal conversations that contribute to greater cohesion across cultural divisions. It is a nonjudgmental place where students may learn about other cultures and various lived experiences.
This event is a student-led Service-Learning Project for an Intercultural Communication course (COMM 351-001). Contact the instructor, Therese Woozley at theresewoozley@boisestate.edu for more information.
