This article details an Erasmus project, which used the Human Libraries methodology and storytelling to empower young migrants and enhance intercultural understanding.
To share the conclusions and results of the project Every (Story) Teller - Human Libraries and Mutual Recognition where project activities were transnational - being implemented in 6 countries simultaneously.
This article was written as part of the EU-funded project Every (Story) Teller Matters – Human Libraries and Mutual Recognition.
The project’s core aim was to apply the Human Libraries methodology and storytelling as powerful tools to promote mutual understanding, empathy, and inclusive societies specifically for migrants. This methodology is centered on the principle of open, respectful dialogue, where "Readers" engage with volunteer "Human Books" to challenge stereotypes and foster mutual understanding. This effort successfully empowered young migrants to become Human Books; their voices and narratives raised awareness and enhanced migrant inclusion in local communities. All the project’s activities have culminated in the development of a freely accessible digital platform that functions as a virtual library.
