Hope and Healing from the Lens of Survivors

Part I: Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda

To expand conversations and dialogue around equity, inclusion, and anti-racism, the UCI School of Education is hosting a webinar series that features survivors and professional experts of extremism, oppression, war, genocide, racism, and discrimination. In addition to creating a safe, affirming space for all invited speakers, the series will focus on elevating voices of survivors and experts through a lens that only they can provide.  In the first part of the series, panelists will contextualize our understanding of the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. In this edition, attendees will hear from Rwandan victims, family members, and professional experts. Please join us for an evening of advocacy and awareness.
