HERB FEITH FOUNDATION SEMINAR
Pat Walsh, ‘Growing flowers in a prison: Timor-Leste’s new hub of post-conflict best practice’

Wednesday, 16 August 2017, 6pm-7.30pm, AVI, 88 Kerr Street, Fitzroy

A decade on from the tabling of the monumental Chega! report, the Timor-Leste government is building a centre of memory to ensure the lessons of its traumatic history are remembered and passed on to future generations. The initiative is a regional first and model of what the UN calls the Fourth Stage of sustainable reconciliation best practice. The new Centre will also work with Indonesia on the two countries’ shared history.

Pat Walsh served on the Timor-Leste Working Group established by Prime Minister Rui de Araujo to design the new centre.

ALL WELCOME!  KINDLY ADVISE IF YOU CAN COME AND PLEASE FORWARD THIS NOTICE TO OTHERS IN YOUR NETWORK. THANK YOU.
