These tours were combined with project meetings with experts to develop a toolkit for providing tours that promote dialogue and civic engagement. These guides are designed to help you organise your tour of a contested historical site, ensuring that it is inclusive and unbiased and fostering a greater understanding of complex historical legacies and an awareness of how they evolve and impact our society.

He died on December 27th, 2023 at the age of 98. His achievements and vision are remarkable and unique.
