Challengesand Recommendations
 Timing: village voter registration should be limited the numbers of the
participants who would attend the public forum that was held during rainy
season.
 Theteam should consider how to hold the forum in anotherarea during rainy

 The forum was held on a floating house that the organizers and participants
were hard to approach the venue.
 People were busy with Pchum Ben and voter’s registration for the upcoming
election.
 The space was so crowded because of the number of participants that is hard
to manage it well.
 Most of the participants can read little, but cannot write well, so it consumed
so much time and the meeting was delayed until 9:00 a.m.
 Solutions
 In order to improve the forum , a few recommendation should be seriously
taken into consideration
 The organizers should provide them with more visual and material (color
papers, white board, etc.).

 Given the long distance and the remote area of the forum, it was difficult for
the DC-Cam staff to get access to technology and supplies.
 Because of the lateness of the students and villagers, the forum was delayed
until 9:00 am lasting one hour.
 The students had to ride their bicycle for more than 20 kilometers from other

REPORT FROM KOMPOT PROVINCE
May 22, 2011…By Sayana Ser
Challenge and Lesson learned
 Even the team had good communication with the provincial teacher and
received cooperation from the commune chief , but still some obstacles at
some places
 The team also had to find the contact of commune chief and call to ask for
permission to conduct the forum
 We will meet to give him a copy and show him the original permission letter
from Ministry of Interior one day prior to the forum
 Even with approval from the commune chief, the team still had to follow
administrative bureaucracy.
 After that the team realized that some far locations, depending on the actual
situation, so the team will have to consider whether or it is necessary to go a
few days earlier before the forum in order to ask permission, check on the
situation of the site and look for forum locations and complete administrative
work and communication that could take more than one day.

of 20
 Attendance and Material: the challenge was that the need to confirm the
number of participants with the host commune. Usually, the number of
attendees is lower than 200 and sometimes even much lower than 100.
 The reasons for low attendancebecause of the far distance, road conditions,
transportation, harvesting and planting seasons, household works
 The team will have to reconfirm, implement measures to prevent and reduce
any large discrepancy in numbers and engagement in the future.
 Technology/ Road Condition: even the team was well prepared with the
logistics and materials from the office and checked up with everything,
especially the testing of the sound equipment, the amplifier was broken. This
was due to the long bumpy road.
 Some studentparticipationsmadenoise by bombing shellhung atdining hall,
being used as bell for announcement.
 Many students were shy and nervous when they were picked up to give a
summary or talk about what points they captured from the readings.

REPORT FROM KANDAL PROVINCE
May 08, 2011…By Sayana Ser
Challengeand Lesson Learned
- The school director and commune chief previously hesitated and did not
completely trust communications via phone calls. It was required that the
permission letter be delivered in hand or in person
- After seeing actual site, the team found the dining hall did not have a good
atmosphere and condition that holding the forum there could be also be a
cause of disturbanceto monks’ dinning time(at 11 a.m.). the commune office
is too small to hold the forum
- For pagoda’s Buddhist center was not available to hold the forum because
the head monk had brought the key along him to the center with him to the
city and he would not return until next day, so the team decided to pick a
proper open spot under the shake of two mango trees near the main temple.

of 20
- For the most part, many of the villagers during this forum did not appear to
be asengaged asthestudents. Some villagers were illiterate or had weakeyes
and were unable to read without spectacles.
 Recommendation
- The team should bring along two or three MP3 recorders as the other
recorder were being used in fieldwork by two other project teams
- The team members just only recorded interviews with students on a mobile
phone and another member conducted an interview with the commune chief
by taking notes using pen and paper
- The team should bring more than 200 copies of the textbooks since several
participants did not receive one in hand.

REPORT FROM KEP PROVINCE
August 7, 2011…Sayana Ser
Challengeand Lesson Learned
 the few similar challenges were laid out :
- firstly, due to school vocation and rainy season, it was so hard to gather
students and inform them to join the public forum even they had been already
sent message
- Secondly, the difficulty was aboutcompleting the survey questionnaires since
a lot of villagers are illiterate and elderly attendees were unable to read the
small font.
 Recommendation:
- The commune chief and the head monk together with the layman suggested
that DC-Cam’s team should have a few days before the forum in order to
check on the location and provide documents to villagers beforehand.
- The forum should not be held in rainy season because it would not be more
students and teachers to participate in the forum.

THE REPORT FROM KOMPONG SPEU PROVINCE
September 19, 2011…By Ly Sokheng
Challenge
- There were three challenges noticed for future improvement:
- firstly, the high potential students from secondaryand high schools should be
selected to be part of the entire forum such as assisting villagers in filling out
surveys.
- Secondly, the illiteracy level among villagers remains an obstacle to keep the
forum schedule form lagging behind the time set, so they fully need the assistance
from a dozen students that DC-Cam has asked the commune chief to form
- Thirdly, it is necessary to have so many people being present- villagers, students,
teachers and local authorities.
- Lastly, the open space forum makes it difficult for the facilitators of DC-Cam to
monitor the class, specifically the group practice. To deal with this, the facilitators
need to give each group clear and precise instructions, through the dozen students
assigned to lead group.
 Results and outcomes
- Throughout the team’s observation, the participants were provided the a
variety of benefits for the forum
- Students play a role in assisting villagers in filling in surveys, which was
beneficial for several reasons.
 Firstly, the students demonstrated self-inspiration for their community
 Secondly, they could demonstrate their bravery and their potential to engage
and lead any social program.
 Thirdly, they demonstrated that they could make their parents and other
senior in the community satisfied with their useful work.
- Last but not least, most villagers said that they wished to see the trial of KR
leaders at Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). And
they seemed to be inspired by the teaching and discussion on the DK history.

A REPORT FROM O SAMPOR COMMUNE
MALAI DISTRICT, BANTEY MENNCHEY PROVINCE
February 6, 2011...written by Pong- Rasy Pheng
Challenge
 Attendance: Before the trip to Malai, team member of the project had made
a contact with commune chief and provincial teacher that we asked for
students from grade 9-12 from high school nearby, but actually when we
started to hold the forum, there had no students from high schoolto attend and
we contacted to provincial teacher who received the teacher training
workshop, but while we were at that place we could not contactto provincial
teacher, so in order to solve the problem , commune chief promptly contacted
to the principle of the primary schoolinstead by asking for students to attend
the tomorrow. Thus, in the future we had to make sure that we should
reconfirm the number of participants with the commune and implement
measures to prevent this large discrepancyin number happening in the future.
 Document arrangement: Normally, all documents include DK history
books, searching for the Truth Magazines and booklets have already been
prepared few days before the trip. This trip, there was a small error occurred
among preparation. The mistake was that staff who is responsible for
preparing document for us did not know which boxes are DK history book
and teacher guidebook. Some boxes of teacher guidebooks were appeared
while we were distributing the documents to the participants. This kind of
documentwas not allowed to distribute to participants becauseit was reserved
for teachers who teach history only. However, the team members collected
them back. This was a lesson for the team members for next trip.
 Surveys: Some postand pre-forum surveys were distributed at the same time
to participants after distributing DK history books. Because of students
attending the forum were younger, they spent much time to fill in the surveys
and also older villagers who could not read and write depend completely on
the team members to assist in completing the forum, so next time, the team of

of 20
the project should divide participants into groups of villagers who can read
and write, and groups of whom cannot read and write.
 Teaching preparation and action: Because of the location is former Khmer
Rouge stronghold, the model teaching should be cleared and stronger. The
presenter should be clear with the objective of the lesson, lesson plan, using
the right way of methodology and concentration to the participants. Actually,
lesson plan and objective of the lesson were well prepared from the office.
Additionally, a meeting was conducted before the trip to discuss this issue.
But the problem was that presenter seemed to forget to use this during the
teaching. At the end of modeling, in orderto attract all participants, one ofthe
team members did a perfect summarizing the whole chapter. Forthe next trip,
especially trip to the location of the Khmer Rouge stronghold like Pailin or
Anlong Veng, presenter should have well-prepare and be clear with
everything.
A REPORT FROM MONOROM COMMUNE
Sen Monorom district, Mondul Kiri province
April 26, 2011...written Pheng Pong-Rasy
Challenge and LessonLearned
- Mr. Pich Sinoeun, who was another provincial teacher, received the teacher
training from DC-Cam and ministry of Education, Youth and Sport. He used
to be a teacher at Mondul Kiri High schooldue to his family issues, he had to
quit teaching. According to the meeting with the team, he said that he would
return to teach again.
- Just in advice, Mr. Pheng and the team told him that the importance teaching
DK is very important for the next generations and then Mr. Pheng explaind,
“You are the key to producing and building peace and reconciliation to
students.

of 20
 The obstacles during forum:
- While the participants were reading a chapter from the DK history book, two
policemen came to ask for permission from the authority of Munorom
commune asking for permission from the commune chief to do the forum. At
the same time, Rasy gave them a permission letter from the Ministry of
Interior. Later, they went backand thank us for providing a permission letter.
- Some participants, especially villagers, looked exhausted and left the forum
while it was still in progress. Mrs. Im Chann asked to leave first to cookfood
her workers and many villagers and nuns left for the same reason.
- Some participants said that they would not attend the meeting because they
were much older compared to students. For this reason, Mr. Pheng to them
the main purpose of doing forum and explaind that the forum was to engage
in discussing about the Khmer Rouge regime between students and elders
who experienced hardship during the Khmer Rouge Regime.
- Some students were playing on their phones while Mr. Vanthan was
presenting a chapter and Mr. Pheng came to those students and told them to
stop playing and to listen to the chapter.

REPORT FROM PAILIN PROVINCE
July 10, 2011...By Tatiana Sainati, Sharon Kim, and Sayana Ser
Challenge and Recommendation
1. Dedicate more time to pre-planning and outreach.
 Given the value that DC-Cam places on genocide education and
community participation, it is important to determine the challenges
faced on each trip and provide recommendation for improvement.
- Before outreaching, the staff should contact the commune chief and the
pagoda committee leader, and obviously, other community members and
teachers, earlier in advance of the forum
- Geographical distance and practical considerations, including limited modes
of communication, may serve as major barriers to the implementation,

of 20
however, advantages of having a better advertised event, and stronger
working relationship with village leaders likely outweigh these concerns , so
we suggest establishing an exploratory team that could head out to the
provinces a week or two beforethe public education forum in order to provide
community leaders with a more thorough introduction to DC-Cam as well as
to raise awareness about the upcoming event, and build relationship with the
local villagers.
 The exploratory team would be beneficial for two main reasons:
- First, it would help to build trust between DC-Cam staff and the local
communities
- Second, byspending more time in the preparation stages, the public education
forum could allocate more time to meaningful discussion, beyond the history
2. Focus more discussion, less on book distribution:
- The team should also seriously considerwhether the current means ofmaterial
distribution is the most effective in promoting genocide education
- A significant amount of time was spenton handing out booklets, which could
have been allocated to fostering interaction among villagers, students, and
teachers.
- DC-Cam should consider implementing a longer three to five day program,
by allowing the exploratory team to give the teachers and students the
textbooks in advance.
A public Forum between Students, Teachers, and Parents
Inauguration of Anti-Genocide Memorial
A REPORT FROM MODUL KIRI PROVINCE
October 25-26…SER Sayana
Challenges, observation,and impacts
-the forum was held unexpectedly without much preparation at all

of 20
- It was conducted within the compound of the primary school, so the noise of the
school children could distract participants’attention away from the presentation
and discussion
- the majority of the villagers are Pnorng whocould understand Khmerlanguage
but found it hard to reply to the team, so the communication challengesin the form
of languagehavealready prevented them from exploring the exact natureof the
KR atrocities.
- After the forum, the team made a short interviews with the villagers for
collecting names and stories of their lost relatives
 The inauguration of the anti-GenocideMemorial
- It was created for the purpose of promoting forgiveness, tolerance,
education, and reconciliation and also help to recall the past and generate
interest in the upcoming trial of the four surviving senior leaders of the KR
- The team hasworked closely with Mr. Keo Vibol, deputydirector of Hun Sen
MondulKiri High School in order to preparefor the inauguration ceremony
of the Anti- Genocide Memorial.
- The event washeld in the morning of October 26 with her Excellency Ton
Sa-Im Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport, and
Mr. Toem Sang Vat, head of MondulKiri’s provincial Education office,
serving as guests of honor.
- DC-Cam’sdeputydirector, Mr. VanthanP.Dara, explained to the students
aboutthe up-to-dateinformation of the KR Tribunal.

REPORT FROM PHNOM PENH
June 5, 2011...By Sayana Ser
Challengesand Lesson Learned
- The exact number of participants is still a challenge because the team
confirmed with the local authorities, school director, and teacher about the
about the number of students who would be able to attend the forum which
can accommodate up to 180, in contrast, the team was informed at the last
minutethat there mightbe up to 200 studentto participate, and in the future,

of 20
the team should try to confirm the exact number and should bring 200 sets of
documents and materials and the surplus materials .
- Theatmosphere in the forum location wasa bit crowded and extremely warm
despite having all windows and doors opened. The weather was completely
different from the previous day when the team checked on the place.
 CRITIGUSE FROM FOREIGN PARTICIPANTS AND RESPOSE BY
SAYANA SER
1) Valerie Stranieri, from Tulane Law School
- Her suggestions were that for the forum based on my understanding of you
purpose
- First, I did not see much interaction between the villagers and students , for
example, bydividing thestudents intosmaller groupsand having onevillager
work with each group
- Most people feel uncomfortable getting up and speaking into a microphone,
especially about such a sensitive subject.
- I would also suggest posing some questions to the villagers as well and I
noticed thatthequestionsand discussion werealldirected toward thestudents
making it seems like a student-focused program that villagers were simply
invited to observe.
 Morgan’s suggestions:
- There should be monitors to observe during the group discussion and survivors’
story.
- There should be a break before the survivor’s story so the group can concentrate
better.
- Since some survivors have stories butfind it difficult to talk about them, the same
survivor should speak to smaller groups or in the form of an interview to make it
easier.
- The group should be divided into smaller groups of 40-50 during the survivors’
stories.
- There should be at least one photo to demonstrate the brutality of the regime so
the students believe what happened.

of 20
- After the survivor’s story, we should ask the group: What part of the story
interested you the most? Will you tell your parents about the story/forum today?
Why?

REPORT FROM PREAH VIHEAR PROVINCE
September 6, 2011
By: Ser Sayana and Ly Sokheang
Challenges, LessonsLearned, and Recommendations
- Because of heavy raining, the forum could not be concluded properly and also the
numberof participantswere sitting underthe shadeof numerous species of trees in
front of a high school building.
- Due to the high level of illiteracy among the villagers, the forum’s schedule were
slowed down and also the villagers had weak eyes and were unableto read without
spectacles.
- A few villagers who tried to read tended to focus only on the materials without
paying much to the forum discussion.
- there are only about fifteen students who participated since the forum was held
during school vacation and some students were helping with their housework and
farming while some others were working in other districts and provinces.
- the team brought200 copies of the textbook; this numberwas expected to be more
than enough sincein prior forum, there were rarely a highernumberof participants
than amount, so the team had already experienced several forums that took place
during this time that only had attracted between seventy and one hundred fifty
participants
-Despite the geographical distance and practical considerations, including limited
modes of communication, thestaff had contacted thecommunechief and thepagoda
committee leader, and ideally, other communitymembers and teachers, one week in

of 20
advance of the forum and instead of conducting these initial meetings upon arrival
in the province the day before the event. The team as well as the commune chief
learned that we should come to the forum site a few days before the forum starts in
order to see and check on the actual location, complete bureaucraticadministrative
work, and build trust between the staff and the local communities as well as the
authorities. The team learned that administrative communication and logistics on
location could be, at times, an obstacle to the forum.
REPORT FROM PREY VENG PROVINCE
October 4, 2011…By Ser Sayana
Challenges
- The flood and rain delayed the forum schedule from starting at 8:00 to begin
at8:30 and even at9 o'clock, so a few villagers were still coming to the forum.
- The majority of older women in the commune are widows whose husbands
were killed in the KR and some suffered from the pain of losing loved ones
and from torture they endured, as well as trauma or mental disorders due to
the unbearable situation they confronted in the KR past.
- Fear of being abused for expressing ideas and thoughts is intricate amongst
Cambodian citizens. For example, Mrs. Seng told us that her twenty-four
year-old son told her not to give an interview with the team because he is
afraid that the KRT could not provide justice through a fair trial and right
judgment, and he is scared of having KR family members seek revenge.

A REPORT FROM PURSAT PROVINCE
August 11, 2011
By: Tessa Bialak and Sayana Ser
Challenges, Lesson Learned, and Recommendation
- The event might be helpful when it concludes a guest speaker in order to
remind participants throughout the event about the schedule of activities
planned for the forum. For instance, program facilities could remind
participants before the guest speaker’s concluding remarks and after
remarks, there will be an additionalactivity, so the participantswill be clear
about the forum’s schedule.
- Even Mr. Cayley’s presence provided a different format for this forum, there
were fewer students than normal, so in the future the team should think
creatively how to encourage student’s participation during school vocations.
- The last question at the forum, posed by a male student who asked who were
the senior Khmer Rougeleaders to be prosecuted at the ECCC, demonstrates
that there is still a lack of awareness among certain community members,
especially in remote areas such as Rumlech, about the Khmer Rouge and the
Court. Programs such as the Public Education Forum should continue to
work on raising awareness about Khmer Rouge history and the process and
procedure of the ECCC to encourage more widespread awareness and
understanding. As Mr. Cayley reminded participants?

- Some villagers and some students had to leave in the middle of the forum
because the team did presentation, which seems to take longer to present, the
presenter should provide a brief introduction and summarize important key
points to explain to participants
- Theproject team members, when addressing participants, frequentlyreferred
only to studentswhileignoring thepresenceof the villagers and teachers. This

A REPORT FROM KRALANH DISTRICT, SIEM REAP PROVINCE
October 9, 2011
By: Khamboly Dy, Sokhegan Ly and Peoun Dara Vanthan
Challengesand Recommendations
- The preliminary contact and preparation : the team was a bit late in
providing sufficient information about the forum as well as asking the
permission from local officials to hold the forum
- The head monk did not allow the team to hold the forum in pagoda campus
because the pagoda is a neutraland quiet place; it is not a place for political
parties to attack or to compete each other for the votes, however, after long

of 20
explanation from the team, the head monkallowed the team to hold the forum
inside the pagoda.
- Illiteracyvillagers:somevillagerscould not read and write, sothe team could
not receive sufficient information from the participants because they have
never been involved in the activities related to surveys and the team had to
spend a greatamountof time in explaining, reading, andfilling outthe survey
on their behalf upon permission from them.
- In order to resolve this challenge, the team has found various methods to
cope with it, for example, the team selected about ten students to help the
participants to fill in the survey
- In addition to the survey, participantswere also unfamiliarwith the namesof
the early party leaders such as Son Ngoc Than, Tou Samouth, and Chan
Samay. Theyhad little knowledgeof the KhmerPeople’s Revolutionary Party
or the Worker’s Party of Kampuchea.

- Thevillagers were busywith their farmland becausetherain had juststarted,
while some other villagers need to do their business in the market and
somewhere else.
- Thevillagersfound thepublicforum less interesting and theydid notgetalong
well with discussion as a cultural norm; moreover, they are too illiterate to
fill out survey forms.
- Pre and post- forum surveys were even less interesting for villagers and
almost all villagers attending the forum were illiterate or not used to filling
out forms and did not understand what they were going to do
- Villagers also found the presentation less interesting while the presentation
was going on, they chatted with their fellow villagers and others villagers,

especially women, had togo homeat 9:30 or 10:00 in order to food for their
children.
REPORT FROM SVAY RIENG PROVINCE
October 6, 2011 ...By SER Sayana
Challenge
- Mr. So Khay stated that he was not quite sure whether the Khmer Rouge
Tribunal can work fairly to deliver justice to Cambodian people.
- And the program had to be delayed for an hour because the villagers and
students did not arrive until 9:00 a.m. due to rain, flood and household work
and majority of young women in the commune are garment factory workers
- Even the forum was centrally located there is still the lack of transportation
and poor road conditions.
- Since theforum started one hourlater than expected the program (8:00 a.m.),
it also concluded later than expected. There were a few parentsof the student
participants who called to ask the commune chief about their children. The
team had tried to finish theforum at11:30;however, welearntthatweneeded
to end the forum by 11 o’clock regardless of the delay because the students
and some villagers such as monks had their regular meal time at 11 o’clock.

of 20
- The team found some difficulties in engaging the villagers in the forum and
about 40 villagers showed up to the event, which was more than expected.
- The beginning of the forum, manyof the villagers were willing to share their
stories during the Khmer Rouge period with the team
- The team went through chapter five with the students related to the
geographical split of DK into five zones, so it was not easy to make students
effectively interact and summarize the section assigned. This may be due to
the more factual character of the information given
- During the forum, a student asked about the ECCC, primarily concerning
Case 002. Thisgenerated manyadditionalquestionsabouttheCourt. Onlya
few of those present knew about the ECCC and hardly any could explain
anything more than a headline or two about the existence of the Tribunal.
Despite this, the apparentinterest in the subject demonstrates a greater need
for more information sharing about the work of the ECCC.

March 6, 2011
- Theforum was delayed until 12:00 pm, halfan hourlater than predicted and
like the previous forum, pre and post surveys took more than one hours to
complete because the member have to guide the participants
- While the team members began collecting the completed surveys, some of
participants were still writing their surveys and at end of the forum, some
students did not finish their post forum surveys since it was their lunch time
- Recommendations: the team should managetheir time with entire forum and
the surveys and should organize villagers who can read and write ,while
villagers who cannot read and write to sit in different place in the compound
of the forum

of 20
- Thepre forum survey madethewholeforum a bit less interesting and theteam
should find better way to conduct the pre forum survey and evaluation
- The team had tested and checked all the document materials and equipment
in Phnom Penh beforeloading up in thecar. In the evening prior to the forum,
the team rented a battery from a villager to help supplypower to the speakers
during the forum. The morning of the forum, the team discovered that the
rental battery could not be used as a full power supply for the sound.
Fortunately, the team used the sound equipment of the pagoda instead.
However, the team sometime used went without microphones to talk to the
participants. This was because the microphones were very old and often
didn’tfunction properly. For the next forum, the team hasto be more diligent
with checking the equipment.
