Schedule
We have been dreaming of a world free of war, genocide and suffering; a world free of discrimination and respecting civil and human rights for all. The last years have shown the very need for such a dream to become reality, no matter how distant it may seem.
This trans-disciplinary international conference at the end of Holocaust Memorial Week 2022 will contribute perspectives from current student research on comparative genocide, war and peace studies, history, as well as political, cultural, social and educational theory and praxis with regards to civil and human rights.
