For more than fifteen years, the
International Coalition of Sites of Conscience has helped museums, historic sites, and other public spaces become dynamic new centers for community engagement through personalized training grounded in the work of thought leaders, educators, human rights advocates and our 200 member sites around the world. This workshop will build participants’ ability to engage visitors on the pressing, contemporary issues raised by their content. Participants will be able to ask questions that draw on the lived experience of their audience to enrich their programs, create opportunities for meaningful exchange, and approach conflict with confidence. Drawing on the fields of Museums, Dialogue, and Transitional Justice, participants will have new frameworks for transforming their sites to places where memory becomes action.
