Chair – Anousheh Haghdadi
Anousheh spent a year studying conflict resolution and reconciliation and living and working in Belfast. Speaking with victims, perpetrators and people from all perspectives on the Troubles, she began to understand how deep lie the roots of conflict in our consciousness, and the role of destructive storytelling and selective remembering in creating and sustaining conflict. She is passionate about using positive storytelling to transform communities and make sustainable change.
Trained as a lawyer, Anousheh has also worked on human rights issues in South Africa and set up her own youth leadership programme to equip people with skills to bring about positive change in their communities.
Anousheh has travelled to Srebrenica on a number of occasions and has a strong interest in the history of Bosnia-Herzegovina and a growing library of books on the topic!
