On June 5th, 2011, the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam)'s Genocide Education Project conducted a public education forum in Sleng village, Sangkat (Commune) Porng Tik, Khan (District or quarter) Dangkoa, Phnom Penh. The forum was conducted at a compound of Oudom Pothiprik pagoda, also known as Wat Sleng. The participants attending the forum were approximately 270. Among these numbers, there are 20 villagers, 240 students and ten teachers.

PHNOM PENH is located in the south-central region of Cambodia, and is fully surrounded by the Kandal Province. The municipality is situated on the banks of the Tonle Sap, Mekong, and Bassac rivers. These rivers provide potential freshwater and other natural resources to the city. DANGKOR is one of its eight districts and the largest district of Phnom Penh with an area of 197.89 km². The district is subdivided into 15 Sangkats (communes) and 143 Kroms (groups or villages). According to the 1998 census of Cambodia, it had a population of 92,461.

The public education forum will discuss the experiences of the people's lives under the KR and will also encourage the younger and the older generations to discuss the importance of genocide education and survivors to share their real life experiences under the KR. The project's team members will distribute copies of the textbook "A History of Democratic Kampuchea (1975-1979)" and discuss one chapter from it. Other materials for distribution include the magazine Searching for the Truth and booklets on Khmer Rouge tribunal Cases 001 and 002. During the forum, one of the team members will teach a chapter from DK history book.

The forum is being held in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport and funded by The Asia Foundation (TAF), Phnom Penh, Cambodia with the core supports from the Swedish International Agency for Development (Sida) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
