<H2>Real people. Real conversations.</H2>
Have you ever lost yourself in a good story? Explored new ideas or experienced far-off places through the written word?  Now is your opportunity to ask questions and hear, first-hand, from people who have lived to tell unforgettable stories.
 
Rebirth & Resiliency
What is the next chapter for Scarborough? How have relationships between diverse cultures and communit(ies) come together to shape something new? How have the communities we’ve grown up in helped us thrive? How does sharing stories create better understandings of ourselves and our communities? Do we experience a rebirth when we share our stories of resilience with our communities?
This Human Library, the first one of its kind offered at the University of Toronto Scarborough explores the journey(s) toward healing and growth that come out of lived experiences in Scarborough. By reflecting on the stories that have shaped our identities, this Human Library will provide a platform for participants to express their stories of survival, growth, and resiliency and begin to answer the questions, ‘where have we come from?’ and ‘what will be next?’**
Join us to hear people speak about their own triumphs in a complex world that often forces us to simplify our full selves.
 
Each participant in our human library can be checked out, like a book, for 25 minutes of one-on-one time. Hear a story, share an insight and gain perspective.
 
This event is open to students, staff and community members.
