The DSPC project is a transformative initiative aimed at fostering empathy and promoting reconciliation among historically conflict-impacted communities.
By collecting and sharing personal narratives of individuals affected by wars and conflicts, the DSPC project seeks to bridge societal divides and inspire meaningful dialogues.
The project will produce a collection of oral video stories (a total of 5 videos from Georgia) that will challenge deep-rooted biases and promote a common understanding of the past. At its core, the project centers around a user-friendly digital platform where these diverse narratives will be hosted and made accessible to the public.
