Human Library: Volunteers

With POSITIVE MESSENGERS project events we aim at:

Empower target groups and promote peer-to-peer and civil society initiatives to counter hate speech;
Create networks of local, national and international partners to counter online hate speech through production and dissemination of positive messages;
Encourage positive discourses and counter-narratives in order to limit hate speech against migrants/refugees;
Develop and test peer-reviewed training materials for target audiences.

Instead of borrowing a book, participants “borrowed” a person who is volunteering. They had possibility to speak with 3 of them:

* Eva regularly volunteers in refugee camps in Greece. She was also in refugee camps in Serbian-Hungarian borde: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT5P0UAVzFY
* Dorotka: she helps Roma kids to catch up on their studies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6ytte05b7w
* Alex: volunteers in Cesta domů, organization which provides care to the dying and their loved ones. Alex besides other things helps to people dying in their home environment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn39rtLRLM4

3 volunteers stories which should inspire people, especially young people to make the world better.
