Will you be presenting and moderating the Living Library? The theme is making stigma regarding mental vulnerability open for discussion.
'The Living Library' is an activity regularly organized by Stichting (On)Gestoord. For more information about 'the Living Library', visit https://www.stichtingongestoord.nl/de+levende+bibliotheek/default.aspx
As the moderator of 'the Living Library,' you ensure a warm opening and explain how the privacy of 'the books' (people with psychiatric vulnerabilities) is safeguarded. You act as the timekeeper, identifying and asking which book people wish to 'read.' You keep track of the time and ensure everything runs smoothly by walking around during the activity. During the break, you inquire about the experiences gained and guide 'the books' and guests to the next round. The second round starts after this. Once the second round is over, you have the guests complete the evaluation questions, and there is time for debriefing. As the moderator, you ensure a smooth flow throughout the entire program. You create a safe atmosphere where everyone feels seen and dares to speak about mental health, stigma, and recovery.
