The power of human stories for building compassion and empathy
Julia Gyomber from the AISNSW Community Cohesion Team speaks with Dr Ari Lander and Olivier Kameya, two of the co-founders from Kumva and Kwibuka.
Olivier is a passionate classroom teacher and versatile public speaker with lived experience on the matters of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Olivier speaks of the lasting impact of the genocide and the other crimes against humanity with the message of empathy and the question of individual and collective responsibility.
Dr Ari Lander has extensive experience working with survivors of the stolen generation. The Jewish Holocaust and Rwandan genocide. He completed his doctoral thesis at the University of NSW in oral history and has lectured and tutored on a variety of subjects, including comparative genocide. Ari is honoured to be working with an incredible group of survivors of the genocide against the Tutsi.
