Communicating about Transitional Justice to Advance a Culture of Change

This session will explore the importance of communicating about transitional justice in facilitating a culture of change within societies that have experienced massive human rights violations. Using comparative examples, topics to be addressed will include: 1) the role of media in supporting sustainable transitional justice processes, the different stages in which media plays a crucial role, and the importance of training media actors to communicate with the public on transitional justice as a catalyst for sustainable peace; 2) the work of journalists covering current transitional justice issues, such as Ukraine, Colombia, colonial crimes, and environmental crimes, that highlight the value of specialized and independent reporters and the challenges of bringing transitional justice expertise to a larger audience to explain both the political relevance and technical nature of the issues; and 3) art as a means of engaging youth in Tunisia and Lebanon, including through art and photo contests as well as oral history projects, intergenerational dialogue, and workshops on collecting testimonies.

Speakers: Thierry Cruvellier, Nour El Bejjani Noureddine, Judie Kaberia
