Jan 21, 22 & 23, 2025, 10:00 AM EST - Zoom

Why Memory Matters in Palestine and Beyond

This three-day webinar, taking place on January 21-23, 2025, is part two of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience (ICSC's) initiatives aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of the ongoing crisis in Palestine and inspiring global action for peace. The webinar will bring together Sites of Conscience members and partners from Bangladesh, South Africa, Northern Ireland, and beyond, to reflect on the root causes of the atrocities committed against Palestinians, the false narratives that sustain them, and the role of memory in confronting such injustices.

Participants will share their experiences offering communities spaces for truth-telling, critical reflection, and dialogue, even in the most dire settings. The discussions aim to inspire critical thinking and action toward building more peaceful societies.

The first part of the initiative, a six-part recorded conversation series, was made available as both a podcast and video on January 13, 2025. This series features experts from Sites of Conscience, academia, human rights, and cultural heritage, offering insights into the historical context and urgent need for change.
