Looking for Human Books!‏

Hey there,
Has you have notices we have found our location and have a fixed date and time for the project but now we need YOU! we are looking for human books to take part.
 
HUMAN LIBRARY works like a usual library were the readers come and borrow books for a limited period of time. After they read the book the readers return the book and if they want they can borow other books. There are 2 major aspects though: the BOOKs are HUMANS and the readers have the posibility to start a personal dialogue with the HUMAN BOOKS, facilitating comunication between two people which never met.
The books from the HUMAN LIBRARY are people representing social categories which deal or can deal with prejudice, stigmatization (age, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, etc) and which could be victims of discrimination, social exclusion or they can be people with rich life stories which can give to the reader an unique learning experience from diversity and interculturality point of view.
The participation as a Human Books is done as a voluntary basis engament. You can participate as a Human Book for all the duration or just for a few hours (depending on your personal programme).
So if YOU could take part that would be great thanks! 
many thanks 
Esther :)
