Living Library - Notre Dame Campus In-Person
Living Libraries are experiences that allow people to listen and learn from a person in real time, mimicking the setup of libraires and physical books. Join us for a special edition in honor of Louis Riel Day, featuring captivating Métis storytellers. Immerse yourself in their rich traditions, culture, and history.
The Living Library format is interactive by nature, involving small-group discussions between a storyteller and participants in a safe and supportive environment. Groups of 5-6 participants will spend 15 minutes with a speaker, rotating through different storytellers.
