Contributions from the Democratic Republic of the Congo participants

In response to the questionnaire on the theme of collective wounds, the team of participants from the Democratic Republic of Congo sent us the results of the group’s reflections , as well as those collected during exchanges with partner groups. The corresponding documents are available at the bottom of the page.

Some quotes from these texts
