Living Library

Run by Belfast City

Living Library is an interactive experience where people become "living books", sharing their real-life stories and experiences through open conversations.

Rather than borrow a book, you borrow a person for a 20 minute, one to one conversation, enabling you to see the world through different perspectives.

Engaging, thought-provoking, and memorable, it creates meaningful conversations that inspire understanding, and respect.

Booking essential
