Never Again International

Location:

Project Description:
Never Again, an international youth network, was founded at the Institute for International Mediation and conflict Resolution’s 2001 Symposium at The Hague by a group of students and young graduates from around the world who created a collaborative international partnership. Never Again aims to alert the international community to both the causes and effects of genocide and facilitate the exchange of ideas between young people - those who have lived through genocide and those who wish to learn from them. Never Again aims to provoke ideas and action for the prevention of future conflict by bringing people together to cross borders. For more information, see also our recent Never Again Net2 interview.
Points of interest:
The young people organizing Never Again International are using almost every social web tool at their disposal to futher their mission:
A wiki that anyone can join to share ideas, progress, and perspectives about Never Again.
A blog
Tagging and social bookmarking (they are using the tag neveragain)
Wiki webchats
Open-ended audio and text conferences
And they want to start a podcast.
They also had a retreat at Lake Kivu in Rwanda,are continuing the conversation as a virtual retreat and are encouraging participants to write collaborative essays.
