Heritage Initiative

photo
"...............Heritage Initiative, a group of November Movement, in its deliberations on ethno political issues, focused on the deep rooted cultural and heritage phenomena in the country’s ethnic problem.

Aiming to create better mutual understanding among the communities in conflict, Heritage Initiative is studying the historical roots and the discursive elements of the problem.

Moreover, Heritage Initiative is experimenting new methods in imparting scientific knowledge excluded by the hegemonic historical discourses.

A new historical discourse based on science instead of myth and inclusion instead of exclusion is needed for a sustainable conflict transformation in Sri Lanka."
