Mass atrocities are often enabled by dangerous speech — a phenomenon that’s proved difficult to effectively combat. The Center for the Prevention of Genocide, an initiative of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, developed a guide on strategic communications for mass atrocity prevention. The guide, a first-of-its-kind effort, aims to equip practitioners around the world with the tools and insights necessary for effectively combatting dangerous speech.
I worked with Populist in collaboration with The Center for the Prevention of Genocide to concept, design and prototype a dynamic strategic communications tool accessible and easily usable by practitioners in the field. By bringing user-centered design and creativity to bear on the effort, we aimed to enhance the impact of the many organizations on the front-lines of keeping peace.
