While attending conference, Day sought to 鈥済ain a broadened perspective on the importance of peace museums 鈥 as well as peace education as a whole 鈥 in cultures different from my own. The location in Kigali makes this conference even more of a learning experience, as the Kigali Genocide Memorial Museum is one of the world's most renowned peace museums.鈥
