Genocide-Awareness

Genocides don’t just “happen”. They are the product of incremental –but perceivable – policies of targeted hate. Our transcendent discoveries inform travelers of the history from horror to healing. Students understand the roots of prejudice and discrimination from personal testimony of courageous souls with an unimaginable past. In Cambodia, where the Khmer Rouge once-targeted artists and intellectuals for execution, we dance with survivors who know how “Art Saves Lives.” In Rwanda, cooperative projects uniting Hutu and Tutsi together teach the power of forgiveness. Creative itineraries balancing darkness and light, expression and reflection, include careful visits to key sites to memorialize the past and celebrate recovery.
