Gen2Gen is a non-profit educational initiative developed to highlight awareness of the injustices imposed on victims of genocide, racial intolerance and discrimination. Through educational programs Gen2Gen aims to remember the past and teach future generations about the importance of awareness, tolerance and prevention.
Gen2Gen runs a number of programs to achieve its mission:
The REMEMBER ME program encourages young people to understand the concept of memorialisation through meeting survivors of the Holocaust. At the end of the program, the students are presented with a bracelet uniquely engraved with the name of a child who did not survive the atrocities of the Holocaust, their age and place of death and we ask the students to wear this bracelet in memory of this young victim.
A GENOCIDE SYMPOSIA is a lecture series discussing genocide and its effects which is addressed to young adults. This program engages survivors from countries such as Rwanda, Sudan as well as Holocaust Survivors from across Europe and is moderated by an expert University lecturer.
The CREATIVE ARTS EXHIBITION is a competition aimed at honouring genocide victims. Through various forms of art expression such as poetry, film, paint and drawing, students are asked to fulfil a brief on how to remember the Holocaust after the last survivor is gone.
CULTURES WITHOUT BORDERS is an educational initiative designed to encourage religious harmony and social cohesion through the creation of a graffiti wall by young students from different faiths and cultures collaborating with a recognised street artist. The image on the wall evokes the message of tolerance, understanding and inclusiveness.
