Presented by Claver Irakoze. In the aftermath of genocide and post genocide society, how do you teach children about the past without passing on hatred or fear, or at least minimizing such realities? This talk will explore Rwanda’s peace education programs, school curricula, and youth engagement models that help foster critical thinking, empathy, and civic responsibility. Through the lens of my work with Aegis Trust and Solid Minds, I will reflect on how education can prevent cycles of violence, and what the world can learn from Rwanda’s ongoing efforts to raise a generation that remembers differently, one that chooses peace over revenge. This topic aligns well with university students and educators interested in conflict prevention and restorative approaches to justice and trauma.
