- Abstract
During two and a half weeks in Rwanda, working with young Rwandans, two history students from the UK became aware of history's importance for issues as seemingly distinct as friendship and global politics, and the importance of friendship and politics for history. On their return to the UK the two students, the writers of this essay, conceived and designed the Rwanda Forum which took place on the 27th March 2004 at the Imperial War Museum. A one day conference, the Rwanda Forum was the major UK event to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. Giving an account of the genesis of the Forum and exploring the themes which emerged during the day this essay explains the emotional and intellectual backdrop to the event.
