What is Our Living Collection?
It’s a simple idea, staff volunteer to be “human” books and other staff who work at the Trust come along to “borrow” a human book to “read”, which basically means having a conversation. The idea comes from the Human Library project, which aims to challenge stereotypes and discrimination through dialogue. It’s great way to bring staff from different areas of the Trust together and enable them to hear the lived experience of colleagues in their own words.
Our Living Collection is a great way of opening up conversations between staff members who wouldn’t normally meet each other and through these conversations enable us to support colleagues in the workplace, share best practice and positively challenge prejudice or discrimination in a safe environment.
If you would be interested in becoming a book or a reader or are interested to find out more then please contact the library at RPH on library.rph@lthtr.nhs.uk or Zareena.mulla@lthtr.nhs.uk.
