Seyfo Center collaboration with Columbia University Seyfo Center USA has been invited to attend Columbia
University’s Institute for the Study of Human Rights (ISHR). In the fall
semester practitioners and students of historical dialogue will have the
opportunity to engage in training, networking, project work, and academic study
at Columbia University in New York City.
During the Fellowship participants will also design a
project that addresses a long standing sectarian conflict, history of
repression or past gross human rights violations in their society, country or
region.
AHDA, Alliance for Historical Dialogue and
Accountability, brings together academics, representatives of civil society
organization, journalists, educators and artists as well as policy makers who
all pursue historical dialogue in conflict, post-conflict and post-dictatorial
societies. They address the political ramifications of the historical legacy of
conflicts, as well as the role and impact of the memory of past violence on
contemporary politics, society and culture. These ramifications often continue
to haunt contemporary societies and the memories that shape the identities of
protagonists in numerous conflict and post-conflict countries around the world.
AHDA builds networks and facilitates comparative as well as interdisciplinary
dialogue among its members.
Seyfo Center, Assyrian Genocide Research Center,
continues its mission in the international community to gain recognition on the
fate of the Assyrian victims of the 1915 Genocide during WW1.
Mr. Noray Betbaba, President of Seyfo Center USA,
attended a seminar, in Bonn, Germany on December 12, and 13, 2011, organized by
the European Association for the Education of Adults and Academia in
cooperation with the Columbia University Institute for the Human Rights (ISHR).
Mr. Betbaba presented a compelling case stating the injustice and atrocities
perpetrated against the Assyrians.
It is Imperative to engage in dialogue reaching political
representatives, human rights organizations and community activists to promote
the importance of intervention and prevention of Human Rights violations.
