humanlibrary.edu has been an 18-month strategic cooperation developed by the Xeración (Spain) and LOS (Czech Republic) cultural associations. The objective of this cooperation has been the promotion of a novel and very effective methodology to raise awareness about the absurdity of many stereotypes and to promote a more inclusive society called Human Library. Thus, we have developed a series of 6 events in which, using the metaphor of a library, the public was invited to chat in a safe and intimate environment with people who suffer some kind of social stigma. In this way we seek to create channels of empathy between the people of Ferrol and Liberec, destroying stereotypes that, in too many cases, degenerate into discrimination. Three of the libraries had an added value thanks to the project as they had the participation of books and stories from the other partner country. Around 200 people (students, books, organizers and readers) participated in the set of human libraries organized within the framework of the project. On the other hand we have developed an online and free course that helps future HL organizers from all over Europe to become familiar with the principles of the methodology. The course has an important audiovisual component with around 30 minutes of videos that are complemented with various exercises and texts. It is available through the Udemy platform in three different languages ​​(English, Spanish and Czech). Finally, we have organized two public events in which we have presented both the methodology and the course to more than 40 representatives of social action entities in our respective environments. As a result of the project we highlight the creation of two local groups of 20 people each prepared to continue destroying stereotypes through subsequent HL, as well as the exchange of knowledge and good practices between both partners. That without forgetting the training tool that, in the form of an online course, will prepare HL organizers from all over the continent for an indefinite period of time. With all this work we have done our bit in achieving a more tolerant Europe.

Southern Europe is in crisis. All aspects of society are in decline: economy, politics, values... These multiple crises generate a feeling of hopelessness among young people, but also a need to get involved in solving them. Is spreading the idea that we have to be young people who collectively build fair solutions to social problems that affect us. However, we are missing an instruction manual , a roadmap to guide us in this process. Many times we are orphans of models to inspire us in achieving a more democratic and participatory society. That's why it's so necessary to create vehicles for exchanging ideas and experiences among countries that share similar crisis.DREAMOCRAZY is a project of 13 months duration that seeks to respond to this need by creating a common strategy between associations from Spain, Portugal and Greece. This strategy will pivot on the promotion of youth participation by using liquid democracy as a model and as a methodology . We aim to create and share tools that enable youth of our respective local communities to visualize a process of social change and feel involved in it. For that we'll work closely in organizing local actions that serve to motivate and empower youth in order to cause the change.Locally, each partner will coordinate an online newspaper run by a group of at least five young people that collects local news with a youth point of view, expressing proposals and concerns that affect to our generation. In the same way will produce three documentaries that collect inspiring examples of youth participation in each of the partner countries. This local work will have international relevance since in going to be monitored and will receive advice from the other partners. We'll facilitate the exchange of experience by translating each of the the project results to several languages and by disseminating them. Also is planned the creation of a mobile application that, in a fresh and interactive way, will introduce different concepts related with youth participation.As a result of the project arise transnational synergies that will enhance the quality and impact of our actions on youth empowerment and help to strengthen an international network promoting liquid democracy.
