YWAGV Human Library training for volunteers have started!

Training is well underway for some 5 volunteers who have committed to take part in this collaborative project.  Esther, Jennifer, Steve, Selina and Cristina at YWAGV are looking forward to working together in preparation for recruiting human/living books as well as more volunteers.  We will also be doing some publicity to generate interest from beneficiaries that is, the young people who will be using the library by borrowing human books for the purpose of learning about different cultures, backgrounds, achievements that they are otherwise exposed to. 

The training is spread over 3 evenings initially however ongoing support will be available for volunteers and beneficiaries as and when required.  Taking place in the east of London where YWAGV is based, the actual project will be spread across other cities as more volunteers get involved.

We will shortly follow-up with an update on the new learnings for current volunteers.  Watch the space and get involved by writing a comment or sharing your thoughts.

A.R.T. Fusion has also started the preparation for the project

Hello,

A.R.T. Fusion, being the partner for the nice project "Don't judge the book by its covers", has also started the preparations. The first step was to organize a meeting between the members of the work team, Roxana, Marina and Ana. So, we met last week, had a nice discussion about our future activities in this project and everyone got something to take care of, a particular part:)

As we have many volunteers who can't wait to get involved in our projects, the next step was, obvious, the meeting with the volunteers:) We presented to them the topic and the purpose of the project and they got very excited about this. So far, we have a number of 10 volunteers who want to be involved in the preparation and also in the implementation of the project. They are already familiarized with the concept of Living Library, as they have already taken part to some editions of Living Library in Romania, as readers, librarians,  books or volunteers.

We managed very quickly to share the responsabilities within the team, so we are proud now that we have our little teams of volunteers that will take care of the logistics, communication or design of the flyers and posters.
Very soon we will also post some photos from our meetings.
