From Mass killing places to Peace building places
YFP works in the former mass killing places and facilitates processes where local Memory Culture Committees have been set up, who are able to work independently in the topic of collective memory. Peace libraries have been set up by the local people and youth. Wall paintings, wall maps (about the former killing places during KR time and the today’s situation), information signs and boards were made and artistic research is done with participatory methods. Using artistic methods makes the results of a research and memory visible.

Leading questions during the collective Memory process are: What you want to remember and know about the KR time? Why do you want to remember? What happened at this specific place during KR time? How you can make memories visible?
During the project, the youth have the opportunity to build up their perspectives towards the history. To create local memory places is a creative and interactive way of working in the direction towards symbolic reparations. More about the project Memory and Art and Memory Culture Committees, see report.

Prak Chanreth, Monk 22:
“I learnt a lot during this process. Now I know the buildings that used to be the prisons and torture house before. We made the map because through talking alone, the history will be lost. Through this map, I think the history will last longer and people will understand without explanation. What I like about this process is the cooperation of youth and monks”.
