As we embark on a new year full of many exciting projects ahead, we would like to take this time to look back at some of our accomplishments of 2015.
As part of our work towards the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, the Centre launched the 100 Voices Project. The initiative aims to document the voices of descendants of survivors of the Armenian Genocide and the continued effects genocide and human rights violations have on them. The project was featured in an article on CTV titled "100 Years Later, Armenian Genocide Stories Survive on Social Media"
The Corning Centre took part in this year's Holocaust Education week with an event dedication to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The event, titled 100 Voices: Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, showcased clips from our "100 Voices" project and a presentation which was followed by a panel discussion.
