This article was first published by Why Memory Matters in Palestine and Beyond.

Why Memory Matters In Palestine and Beyond is a series of global conversations facilitated by the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience (ICSC), and designed to help Sites of Conscience and their allies build a better understanding of what has led to the situation in Palestine today, encourage critical thinking and dialogue, and inspire action towards building more peaceful societies everywhere.

The first part of Why Memory Matters in Palestine and Beyond includes six recorded conversations with guest speakers from academia and the fields of human rights and cultural heritage. There will also be a three-day webinar taking place January 21st, 22nd and 23rd, 2025 that brings together Sites of Conscience members and partners who have faced related injustices in Bangladesh, South Africa, Northern Ireland and elsewhere.
