Asia and the Pacific Regional Network
The Asia and the Pacific Regional Network brings together historic sites, museums and memory initiatives to promote fair and open societies that respect difference and diverse perspectives, ensure access to fundamental freedoms and accountability, and contribute to strengthening the prevention of hatred and violent conflict to promote human well-being.
Through workshops and joint projects, Asian and Pacific Sites of Conscience foster public exchange on some of the most pressing fundamental freedoms and societal issues and inspire groups to become actively engaged in addressing these.
