Truth & Reconciliation using Web 2.0

Truth and Reconcilliation hearings being held in Liberia are using Web 2.0 technologies to make the hearings as widely accessible as possible. The project is being supported by Georgia Tech University of Atlanta and will consist of daily updates of videos of sessions, statements, discussion forums and general up-to-date news and resources.

The website was created by researchers from both the School of Interactive Computing and the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at Georgia Tech using web 2.0 technologies and leveraging web social networking trends. The design and layout of the content was also implemented to meet the TRC's goals.

Researchers consulted focus groups of Liberians living in America and Liberia to assist in the design. Previous truth commissions have used their websites to simply host their final reports. The TRC of Liberia's website was designed from the ground up to be an integral part of the reconciliation process.
