If you know Rwanda, it is most likely that the first thing you learned about it was the Rwandan genocide against the Tutsi. To process this past, Olivier engaged in making art and serving his community. During his Watson year, he will examine how diverse communities cope with their traumatic pasts while fostering a culture of tolerance and reconciliation towards a peaceful future.
