Working across three key regions (Europe, South Asia and the South Caucasus), the project will explore the roles of civil society groups, cultural practitioners, nation states and regional organisations in managing such memories, and will culminate in the development of a new and innovative model for understanding the successful management of competing memories in non-conflictual ways in the context of peace-building.
The project is led by the University of Bath (UK), in collaboration with five partner NGOs and universities: University of Warsaw (Poland), the Borderland Foundation (Poland), National Academy of Sciences (Armenia), Education & Cultural Bridges (Armenia) and Forman Christian College (Pakistan).
From 31st of March Dr. Vahe Boyajian, an anthropologist specialising in Central Asia and the Caucasus, is doing a research stay at the International Centre for Dialogue in Krasnogruda.
