What we do

Three Main Objectives

Everyone has a story to tell and every story needs to be heard. Through workshopping and community dialogue we create safe spaces for healing from traumatic memories.

How we do it

Our Programmes

Workshops

The Healing of Memories Workshop aims to break the cycle of dehumanization and violence in societies. In a safe space, guided by expert facilitators, participants address sources of alienation and suffering. The experiential nature of the workshops fosters individual healing and collective understanding. These two-and-a-half-day workshops, followed by a second-phase workshop and group reunion, prepare participants to return to their communities with greater self-knowledge and mutual care.

Dialogue

The Community Healing Dialogues promote reconciliation, human rights, and transformative justice through broader dialogue. These activities guide communities one step toward healing by raising awareness of the damage caused by various levels of violence in society. The project aims to break the intergenerational cycle of violence by addressing the need for healing.

Thought Leadership

The Restoring Humanity project empowers youth development to combat actions and attitudes that harm human dignity in their communities. Participants examine the social, economic, and political factors that contribute to feelings of inferiority and alienation in their neighborhoods. Learning activities include workshops, youth platforms, storytelling circles, and ‘remembering’ visits and walks.
