A Fairer World was invited to attend Human Rights Day celebrations at Elizabeth Street mall, nipaluna/Hobart. Thank you to City of Hobart council for welcoming us to attend.
Zelah introduced Owen to a colourful crowd gathered to celebrate diversity and inclusive communities. Article 1 of the UDHR echoed throughout the day’s activities, speakers and event. A Fairer World continues to work progressing this mandate through the power of storytelling. Owen, a human ‘book’ shared their struggle with identity, mental health, and how they found acceptance.
“I believe that having the opportunity to hear stories from people who might be seen as different to you is a fantastic way to build empathy”.
Our storytellers co-design and co-deliver all our diversity and inclusion training at A Fairer World.
Their stories build resilience, and empathy, they seek out and reach for understanding, as a platform for change, and a bridge towards celebrating diversity, which cultivates the motivation required to break down barriers that exclude.
At A Fairer World, we’re dedicated to building diversity, inclusion, and social justice. Through our various programs, such as the Hobart human library and community outreach initiatives, we strive to dismantle barriers and cultivate empathy and understanding among individuals from all walks of life. The stories of resilience and triumph shared within our Hobart human library, each story serves as a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit.
To read more inspiring stories host a Hobart human library forum.
But our mission doesn’t stop there. We believe in taking action to create tangible change in our communities. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our Hobart human library forum initiative, where schools and workplaces can host their own human library events. By bringing together individuals with diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, these forums provide a platform for dialogue and understanding, fostering a culture of empathy and inclusion.
