and organizations prominent in the war and afterward. In Quiche, a key
location for the revolutionary movement of the 1960s-1980s, the group will
meet with church organizers and with ex-combatants from both the
guerrillas and military, to gain an appreciation for the roots of the conflict
and how it played out at the community level.
Some of the speakers include:

Also in Quiche, participants will spend a day walking the footpaths that
connect small communities of resettled people in remote areas around
Nebaj and will meet with numerous communities of resettled guerrilla
combatants, soldiers and civil patrol members. Participants may also
visit a farm granted by the government to demobilized guerrillas.
