In Rwanda, our successful collaboration with GER continues, with Innocent Musore, director of GER, and Gimu Ntayoberwa Shyikiro, facilitating forums in the community.
Innocent has been continuing our forum work, focusing on the role of youth in community reconciliation and violence prevention. Gimu has been particularly focusing on bringing awareness to gender issues in addressing reconciliation issues, and preventing violence.
Innocent, Gimu and Arlene have also been bringing their experiences and learning from Rwanda to other countries. During 2023 and 2024, our colleagues Hiroko Sano and Kanae Kuwahara of the Japan Process Work Center, invited each of them to lead online course sessions focusing on the application of Worldwork facilitation to issues of accountability and healing collective trauma. To prepare, we made a Japanese subtitled version of our film ‘Perpetrators and Youth’, and Hiroko and Kanae also interviewed Innocent and Gimu. The trainees and facilitators in Japan were deeply touched by the sessions and heartfelt in their welcome to us.
In 2024, Innocent was also a presenter at Healing Intergenerational Trauma in Rwanda - Lessons 30 years on. This online seminar was held on April 2024, and it was organised by Australia and New Zealand Process Oriented Psychology.
In December 2024, GER hosted a group of 15 women peacebuilders from Somalia, working with the Berghof Foundation from Germany. The aim of their visit was to learn about supporting reconciliation activities in Rwanda, and about our projects and programmes, ongoing since 2016.
We are incredibly grateful and happy that this work continues to spread across borders, in the spirit of connecting to one another and sharing the learning we all need.
