Memory for the Future
Colloquium (in french)
 
ESCWA
Beirut, March 30th-31st, 2001
This international colloquium brought together artists and intellectuals of all origins around the following discussion: the way to have a collective reflection after a conflict that lasted fifteen years and which has brought different communities against each other.
How to talk about the war and the wounds it provoked in order to overcome them, not to revive them? In what way should this discussion be conducted so that the rehabilitation of memory leads to reconciliation?
