The Art of Forgetting
A facilitation guide
Lisa Kois
FLICT supports the use of creative and performing arts as tools in conflict transformation initiatives. It is a powerful medium of communication, often sublte but very effective in assisting us to start
a process of internal transformation, thought and dialogue.
The richness of learning by seeing a film is enhanced if it is followed at some point by a discussion that is moderated and facilitated to enable dialoge, introspection and thinking.
The film “The Art of Forgetting” deal with some of the most painful issues of Sri Lankas history. It tries to adress the topic sensitively by capturig voices and faces from across the country, who share their experiences. The manual that has been supported by FLICT is an attempt at giving guidelines and support for a follow-up discussion.
