The "Human Library" is a living library made of human books. These books have been recruited to voluntarily share their experiences of prejudices and stigmatization.Readers have the chance to choose their book to know more about the social differences they fear in an attempt to diminish their stereotypes and increase empathy and understanding. If you are interested in using this method to raise awareness about restorative justice, but also about victimization and criminal careers, the website gives practical tips to become the organizer of a Human Library.

TED Talk
Shaka Senghor: Why your worst deeds don't define you
"I received the letter from one of the relatives of my victim, and in that letter she told me she forgave me because she realized that I was a young child who have been abused […] It was the first time in my life that I felt open to forgiving myself." Senghor tells his transformative journey to redemption and he finally calls for more empathy in the way we deal nowadays with incarcerated people.
