Building trust & human connection with The Human Library!

Trust thought for today - we read lots about how digital tech can reduce human connection resulting in polarisation, with implications for trust.

Of course human beings will find ways to overcome this - here is a wonderful and inspiring example - the Human Library. Thank you Graeme Codrington for the post.

"So here you borrow a person instead of a book to listen to their life story for 30 minutes. The aim is to fight against prejudices. Each person has a title - "unemployed", "refugee", "bipolar", etc. - but by listening to their story, you realize how much you shouldn't "judge a book by its cover". This innovative and brilliant project is active in more than 50 countries. "

See how it works here on a great programme from the BBC hearing from a wheel chair user, a satanist and the child of alcoholic parents. So interesting and moving. It really does make you see things differently.
