Badna Na'ref I

In 2010, the International Centre for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) launched the project ‘Badna Na’ref’ (We want to know) aiming to increase political and societal will towards dealing with the legacy of the past, to ensure non-repetition and to recognise the right to know the truth. The first phase of Badna Na’ref focused on encouraging intergenerational debate about the legacy of violence in Lebanon. ICTJ targeted youth groups in 12 schools and provided them with training on oral history methodology. ICTJ prepared an interview questionnaire and trained students on how to use it to collect testimonies from members of their families about their experiences in the civil war.
