“Ask Me Anything”: A Faith-Based Human Library

Presenter(s): Interfaith Council of Metropolitan Washington (IFC)

This introductory workshop, based on the Human Library concept, will enable participants to learn and better understand different faith traditions and practices through intimate small group conversations with individuals from various religious communities. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions about any number of topics including, faith practice, food and clothing customs, traditional symbols, major holidays, etc. By connecting with the lived experience of other faiths, participants will increase their ability to relate to diverse individuals and communities and to challenge prejudice and stereotypes within their personal and professional spheres.
