The Young Get It Done: A Global Look at Youth, Democracy, and Activism
Young people around the world are redefining how transitional justice (TJ) processes are shaped and implemented, ensuring they are not only representative of victims and survivors but also serve as a foundation for a “never again” movement. This webinar delves into the innovative approaches youth activists have championed to transform TJ processes into inclusive, forward-looking frameworks.
Through their creativity, resilience, and commitment to justice, young leaders have amplified marginalized voices, integrated digital tools for broader participation, and prioritized intergenerational dialogue to sustain democratic values. This discussion highlights the global impact of youth-driven initiatives, exploring how they bridge past injustices with a vision for a more equitable future.
Our esteemed panelists include Walaa Faran from ACT for the Disappeared in Lebanon, Madelene de Borja from We the Future PH in the Philippines, and Inaam Eltayeb from Mahfouz in Sudan. Each will provide insights into their organization’s efforts to amplify youth voices in their unique contexts and discuss the challenges and successes they’ve experienced.
The session will be moderated by Devon Gulbrandsen, Program Manager of ICSC’s GIJTR, who will guide this dynamic and engaging conversation.

Dialogue in Difficult Times
Engaging the public in contentious conversations is not easy, but it is often necessary.
The International Coalition of Sites of Conscience is pleased to offer this virtual dialogue training course, open to members and non-members alike. Dialogue in Difficult Times is a six-hour virtual training designed to give staff at Sites of Conscience and like-minded organizations the theoretical and practical tools they need to build dialogic conversations.
Participants will explore what dialogue is and is not, how to craft an “Arc of Dialogue,” and practical ways to both encourage and manage participants’ perspectives, drawing from the work and expertise of over 370 members in 70 countries.
The training will be held across three days: February 4th, 5th, and 6th from 10AM-12PM EST each day.
