Hello Human Library Friends!!!!
WOW – that would just outstanding! I have had lots of great conversations with folks about this 1 hour of sharing.
Thanks for Rebecca for meeting with me to plan and for all of the plan B’s and C’s we made too! I couldn’t believe my internet was “unstable” a few times when I went to the BIG CITY of COTTON from the woods, lol!
Dee – thanks for your belief in all of us and your leadership! Your “mosaic” idea was great!
Michael and Samantha! Thanks for joining!!!!
Kim – Al – Zelle – Laura = POWERFUL
OH MY! What a beautiful bookshelf you are! Your friendship means more than I can ever say, thank you for fearlessly sharing your self and wisdom!!!!!
Kristin – we missed you, but we’ll share the video. It was nice to still connect even though we didn’t do a 2nd hour.
I just want to say – wow! Thank you so much! When the readers all came together RIGHT BY THE CAMERA/SCREEN, wow, shivers – they even noticed it, “Look at how we were sitting before and how now, after only a few minutes, we are all together like this” someone said!
I have the PowerPoint added in this attachment with some cool research I found should you want to use it/build on it
POWERFUL!
I am ready for a nap now!
Lori
PS – next presentation, let’s all go to Spain! LOL! (ps – grrr, and flights were only 400.00 RT from RST at one point!)….dang COVID preventions!
Thank you all!
Hello to new friends, passionate world changers! Thank you for joining us today for an overview and experimental Human Library Session!
My “project” this sabbatical is to continue to discover how this outstanding experience can be shared with my students. We are creating our own videos and I have a free e-book that I am co-authoring with my spouse, Mark. Here is the draft page on the HL: https://mlpp.pressbooks.pub/interculturalcommunicationcompetence/back-matter/human-library-resources/
I am emailing you research about the Human Library, our contact information in the PowerPoint, and a link to the ebooks. You can gain all you need, too, from: https://humanlibrary.org/. Small and large communities host Human Libraries in 80 countries. There is a vibrant group in Barcelona!
Some of you wanted to know more about Kim’s story – I have a link here: https://caalmn.org/podcast/06-kim/
Have a wonderful journey home. You have shared so many outstanding projects, dreams, and ideas. Thank you for sharing this past 2 weeks with me. My amazing community and I will greet you in Minnesota should you ever make it here!
My sincere thanks,
Lori
