Description:
In January 2014, Impunity Watch, in partnership with the Sustainable Democracy Centre (SDC), organised an interactive workshop on the challenges of memorialisation in Lebanon. The workshop targeted victims, civil society and youth representatives of political parties focusing on discussing the possibility of a collective memorialization process that accepts dialogue on multiple narratives. Impunity Watch understands collective memorialisation as a method of seeking common ground about the past and mutual respect.
