Experience 3 weeks in the heart of Africa studying peacebuilding and reconciliation in post-genocide Rwanda.
From April 7th until July 4th, 1994, more than a million Rwandan Tutsi were murdered in the Genocide perpetrated against Tutsi in Rwanda. Following the liberation of Rwanda, the country faced the monumental task of peacebuilding and reconstruction. Today, Rwanda is a pillar of economic stability, health, safety and security, and is an up-and-coming destination for education in the region and world.
