Abstract

Public history and memory-making are crucial in post-conflict societies as they shape collective identity and social cohesion. The study employs a qualitative approach, analysing interviews with historians, community leaders, and local residents. These initiatives not only enhance public awareness but also foster reconciliation and social cohesion among different segments of society. Further support for such projects is recommended to ensure comprehensive coverage of historical events and diverse perspectives.
