This three-day webinar was held on January 21-23, 2025, as part of ICSC’s initiative aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of the ongoing crisis in Palestine and inspiring global action for peace. The webinar brought together Sites of Conscience members and partners from Bangladesh, South Africa, Northern Ireland, and beyond, to reflect on the root causes of the atrocities committed against Palestinians, the false narratives that sustain them, and the role of memory in confronting such injustices.

Participants shared their experiences offering communities spaces for truth-telling, critical reflection, and dialogue, even in the most dire settings. The discussions aimed to inspire critical thinking and action toward building more peaceful societies.

The first part of this initiative, a six-part recorded conversation series, will be available as a podcast here. This series features experts from Sites of Conscience, academia, human rights, and cultural heritage, offering insights into the historical context and urgent need for change.
