To mark the International Day of Human Rights, the Social Equity Working Group of AEGEE-Europe is organising a human library this Sunday, on 20th of December, at 11:00 CET, to contribute to making the voice of different marginalised people in our society heard.

The event aims to spread awareness among young people on the burning issues of social exclusion and inequality faced by women, particularly related to migrants and national minorities. We want to shake and broaden people’s minds in order to encourage European citizens to fight against discrimination on a daily basis, starting with simple but significant actions.

If you are interested in these issues and you want to hear inspiring stories, join us, together with invited activists, CSOs, NGOs and youth workers, that are part of mentioned groups, online, on Discord.

Join the Human Library through Facebook Event.
