In the framework of the Human Rights Defenders Exhibition, have the chance to meet the people and their stories

This is a unique opportunity to meet and interact with “Living books”, or, books that are alive, because they are people with valuable experience to share about human rights.

A moment for disconnection with no PowerPoints or screens in a respectful setting with no taboos where we can all understand and accept our differences. Interaction and understanding are promoted here through a space for discussion and dialogue to combat stereotypes and preconceived ideas.
