Post-Genocide Restoration and Peacebuilding

In 1994, Rwanda was the site of a devastating genocide in which more than 1 million people were killed in 100 days. Today, Rwanda provides an excellent case study on reconciliation and peacebuilding. In Kigali, the sprawling capital city, you will study the root causes and impacts of the genocide. Travel to Uganda to learn about the Lord’s Resistance Army conflict and Uganda’s own reconciliation process. You will visit genocide memorials, a refugee settlement, and healing programs for genocide survivors and victims of displacement. You will also see Murchison Falls National Park.
