15 - 21 July 2012
Together Against Impunity in the Great Lakes Region (TAI/GLR) – Rwanda, is planning to hold a second study tour to Rwanda from 15th – 21st July, 2012. The aim is to educate participants about Transitional Justice mechanisms adopted after the 1994 genocide. The organizing committee is seeking applications from interested individuals. The deadline for application is 20th of May 2012.
The study tour is designed to clarify the complexities involved in re-building a society after a genocide, and will be comprised of two components: a literature study and a study tour. It will involve all stakeholders in Rwanda, visiting genocide memorial sites, solidarity camps, social- economic development initiatives and different crucial institutions involved in reconciliation efforts. In addition to Rwandan experience, the programme will include a roundtable session discussing other post-conflict situations in Africa, in particular the situation of Northern Uganda, Kenya, Southern Sudan and Ivory Coast.
