Presentation

In a world marked by violence and polarisation, this research project explores reconciliation and its role in transforming societies. Rather than considering it as an abstract or symbolic concept, it focuses on concrete acts of reconciliation: the tangible practices through which individuals and communities rebuild their relationships after conflict.
The project, presented on 6 March, offers an innovative framework, examining reconciliation at several levels, from everyday interactions to national and international initiatives, and highlighting the active role of individuals in social and political transformation.
