Given the historic significance of the area, and the village’s more recent complex history, leading to its abandonment, along with its proximity to the UN Demilitarised Buffer Zone, it provides powerful and poignant conditions for the inquiry into CCFTs research questions.
This will constitute CCFTs first Nornadic Dialogue and will be undertaken between 20th to 28th of March 2018.
