1. Genocide Resource

This resource, as well as the wall mural and the set of posters that accompany it, explores the topic of genocide in a number of contexts. This resource has been written for a number of reasons - to record what we did, to share our work and experiences with others, to highlight the educational dimension of the 10th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide and to mark its consequences for those who died as well as for those who survived. 21 pages.
As part of the support package for the Genocide project, a set of 3 posters have been produced.
Poster 1 places the genocide in Rwanda in the historical context of other genocides and killings and presents a summary of the definition of genocide from the Genocide Convention.
Poster 2 illustrates the 8 stages of genocide with images from different times and locations.
Poster 3 places events in Rwanda and Northern Ireland side by side – we recognise that this is controversial and contestable. The figures presented – 3,000 and 1 – represent the ratio of deaths in the two places. How you interpret this equation is up to you!
