EUROPEAN LIVING LIBRARY IN THESSALONIKI

The project "European Living Library for Young Citizens" was organized in Thessaloniki from 23rd to 26th August 2021. The project involved over 100 citizens, including 33 invited participants from the cities of Belgrade (Serbia), Quar de Poble (Spain), Skopje (North Macedonia), Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ljubljana (Slovenia), Brussels (Belgium). Every Living Book what was present is a person with their own unique identity and life story ready to be shared with anyone willing to listen. Citizens of Thessaloniki of all ages, genders and backgrounds were eager to "rent" our books and have fruitful discussions with them.

The living libraries were organized with the support of the Europe programs for the citizens of the European Union. The aim of the project is to bring the European Living Library to different cities in Europe with the idea of ​​encouraging dialogue between citizens from different countries and socio-economic backgrounds in order to break prejudices and stereotypes between them.

Stay tuned and follow our work as we intend to bring the Living Library to Sarajevo, Skopje, Valencia, Ljubljana and Belgrade. Do not miss your opportunity to become part of the efforts to build understanding between European countries and people.
