This project aimed to create a genocide prevention-sensitive international community by nurturing a network in which government officials, NGO workers, and social science researchers identified best ways for dealing with human rights crises.
Building upon the study of the Holocaust, a one-week seminar in Auschwitz addressed contemporary issues and offered the opportunity to discuss how to prevent atrocities from happening again and how to facilitate a shared culture of remembrance. Post-seminar activities included a virtual online community for former participants to communicate about personal and professional issues and the creation of a situation monitoring group for short-term genocide prevention. This program has been carried out since 2008 and took place twice in 2013.
