5. Human library - living stories

Guest at the social department stores' Sparbüchse (Lessingstraße)

The participants in our MEETINGPOINTS series bring their stories to the stage.

The event series "Lived Stories" for the 5th and penultimate time.

As part of our ESF project "Meetingpoints", people become books and tell authentic stories from their lives. After the 4th event in Karree 49, a warm welcome is now extended to the car park of the popular social department stores' "Sparbüchse" in Lessingstraße 13. Now known for the neighbourhood Christmas market and other events, a living library is now being added.

We look forward to meeting the people of Chemnitz and hope to have a lively exchange between our books and readers while enjoying good weather, coffee and cake.

Living Stories is based on the "Human Library" concept from Denmark, which has already been realised in 80 countries from Munich to Tokyo, from Bangladesh to Sydney. Now, for the first time, Romy Buchmann from Taupunkt e.V. is organising the event in Chemnitz on a somewhat smaller scale.

The "Lived Stories" format offers the opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds. Each of them has a special story to tell.

The Human Library aims to bring people together and open up new perspectives. Together we can actively shape our city.

We at Taupunkt e.V. invite you to become part of this special experience and listen to our stories in the middle of a blossoming garden on the southern Sonnenberg.
