UNESCO Establishes the Operational Framework for Dialogue and Trauma Healing Activities in Burundi

Building on this shared foundation, participants then defined the modalities for implementing the cultural, media and community based interventions. Discussions focused in particular on the organization of artistic residencies, the use of art as a means of expression and support for trauma healing, the production of media content adapted to local realities and sensitive to trauma, as well as the referral of persons requiring specialized psychosocial support. This combination of artistic creation, responsible communication and psychosocial support will help ensure that activities are adapted to the experiences and needs of the communities concerned.

The territorial anchoring of these interventions was also strengthened through the active participation of the institutions concerned, including the Ministry of the Interior, Community Development and Public Security, the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture, and the Burundi National Commission for UNESCO. Their involvement helped align the activities with national priorities for peace consolidation, while preparing for local coordination within the intervention areas. The partners therefore agreed to establish a local coordination mechanism under the authority of the territorial administration, as well as a shared communication platform linking field teams and project coordination. These mechanisms will facilitate the flow of information, the monitoring of activities and the regular reporting of results.
