Ronni Abergel - The library where you borrow people, not books
Listen now
Description
Meet Ronni Abergel, founder of the Human Library Organisation where, instead of books, real people are on loan to readers. For over two decades, this global movement has created a safe space to talk openly about taboo topics. At Ronni’s library, a conversation with a refugee, a transgender or a bipolar person is equally possible, open, and informative.   Find out more about the Human Library: https://humanlibrary.org/ https://www.instagram.com/humanlibraryorganization/ https://www.facebook.com/humanlibraryorg/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/human-library-organization This episode of Hope Is A Verb was hosted by Angus Hervey, cofounder of Future Crunch and Amy Davoren-Rose, creative director. The soundtrack for this podcast is "Rain" composed and performed by ⁠⁠⁠El Rey Miel ⁠⁠⁠from their upcoming album "Sea the Sky."
