On November 8, 2012 Cambodia Tribunal Monitor and Trial Observation Teams of the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam) hosted a workshop on CTM website at the Western University with an attempt to disseminate the information related to the ongoing development of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, raise awareness among the students of the trials of the Khmer Rouge leaders, and to encourage more effective utilization of its website for research purpose.

The workshop took place from 9-12 AM with participation from approximately 100 students from various majors. To achieve meaningful participation from the participants, CTM team prepared a range of activities, starting with the screening documentary film “Tuol Sleng Prison” for the students to reflect on the lives and experiences of the victims and survivors under the regime, and followed by the discussion about the film and the history of the Khmer Rouge regime. In addition, the team presented presentation on the on-going development of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal by the Trial Observation team. Most importantly, the team thoroughly presented the key tools necessary to utilize the CTM website for research purpose. The workshop ended with the floor given to students to ask questions and with a distribution of DC-Cam materials.
