Global Projects

The International Coalition of Sites of Conscience is at the forefront of a global movement to preserve and share historical narratives grounded in truth, equipping communities across the globe to protect human rights and social justice every day and indeed long into the future.

To sustain these efforts, we not only work within regions, but across them. With many regions throughout the world facing a rise in extremism, polarization and repressive governments, over the last several years, the Global Networks Department has hosted major initiatives that brought together hundreds of members from dozens of countries to share lessons learned creating and implementing programs that promote inclusivity and democratic values in their communities. See below for more details.
