People Library

The Human Library is a project started in Denmark in 2000. The project promotes equality, understanding and inclusion through personal stories. Here, you can meet real people with incredible stories. With this in mind, I have collected some videos from YouTube that are in the spirit of the Human Library. There are pre-listening, listening, and post-listening questions. Learn about people while studying English.
