Kwibuka 25 & Schools

Few young people in the UK today know anything about the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. But the lessons we learn from Rwanda about the dangers of polarisation and propaganda and the courage required to resist violence and build peace, are relevant for all of us. Teaching students about what happened in Rwanda is also a way to extend and enrich existing work around the Holocaust and the Genocide Convention.

Our Ishami Foundation resources for Kwibuka 25 provide schools with personal stories about experiences of genocide, from a range of different perspectives.
