In this Episode of Learner Journeys, Bastian speaks with Madi van Schalkwyk

Madi is the founder and lead organiser of the 'Human Library South Africa'. 

Growing up as a privileged minority in an apartheid South Africa, she took the step a few years ago from “perfecting the art of ruining a family dinner" towards “finding really amazing people to talk to”. 

In the context of the Human Library, she creates a space and offers a structure, in which members of discriminated minorities can share their lived experiences and thus showcase the complex reality behind the simplified label that the wider society places on them.  

Together with a large community or volunteers, she enables and facilitates conversations that otherwise might never happen. Through this she creates opportunities for truly authentic, vulnerable exchanges and truly transformational learning experiences.

Less interestingly (to her), she has a degree in Visual Communication and a certificate in “The Rise of Superheroes…”
