Don’t judge a book by its cover

Living Library

The SCI Switzerland organized a Living Library on 19th November in Bern.

Seven books told their story: the creator of an Autostop network to break prejudices, a Turkish journalist exiled for denouncing crimes in the Pontos region, a forced and stigmatized adoption, a journalist who investigates what is happening in Catalonia, the migration and the new home, the difficult arrival in Switzerland, and a human rights activist photographer who portrays the separate communities in the Balkans.

Prejudices were questioned and overcome!
