| Webinar: | Peace Exhibits and Peace Education |
| Description: | This webinar hosted by the International Network of Museums for Peace (INMP) gave an insight into how Museums for Peace and related organizations prepare their peace exhibits and peace education workshops.
It was part of a series of webinars organized by the International Network of Museums for Peace as a way to strengthen the interconnection between different museums that have kept alive the relevance of Peace Museums. It aimed to share educational initiatives that focus on education as a way to build PEACE.
It featured presentations from six speakers drawn from Peace Museums and organisations in Sweden, Northern Ireland (Conflict Textiles), France, Iran, Germany and Chile. The format involved dialogue and conversation among the speakers, and a Q&A session with the webinar participants. Conflict Textiles contribution was comprised of an input by Roberta Bacic on aspects of the Conflict Textiles collection and areas of work in addtion to a screening of a seven-minute film "Following the footsteps of the disappeared", (2020).
Conflict Textiles has been connected to INMP since engaging with Gernika Peace Museum exhibition in the Basque Country COSIENDO PAZ: Conflicto, Arpilleras, Memoria, November 2015 – April 2016. Conflict Textiles also participated when INMP hosted their meeting in Northern Ireland through hosting a session at Linen Hall Library and later contributed in Japan via the input of our long standing collaborator, Dr. Tomoko Sakai (Paper by Tomoko Sakai, "Transnational collaborative work and the arpillera collection at the Oshima Hakko Museum, Japan" INMP conference, 2020).
