PCCA – Partners in Confronting Collective Atrocities is an organisation that works towards developing strategies to engage with the legacy of past and present atrocities so as to open up possibilities for a more hopeful future. Over the past 30 years, PCCA has offered various “learning from experience” events to explore individual and societal processes in the occurrence of atrocities, and received the 2019 Sigourney Award for its pioneering interventions. PCCA’s commitment to confronting collective atrocities is not limited to those in the past.

The currently prominent global trends of hatred and violence towards otherness and diversity must not be ignored. They reflect the spread of present hostilities and atrocities, as well as the potential for future continuation or escalation.

PCCA is therefore launching a series of three online conferences for 2025-2026 titled:

OTHERING and Hatred of DIVERSITY

Each of the three conferences addresses a prominent aspect that is an important part of this overall theme:

·        Antisemitism and Otherness – 11, 12 & 14 September 2025

·        The Double-Absence - Despair, Displacement, and Hope in Migration – 5 - 7 December 2025

·        Islamophobia in an Upside-Down World – 30 January - 1 February 2026

Attendance can be at one, two or all three conferences. More details can be found at the PCCA Conference Series Website here
