What is Reconciliation?

The Barometer Survey explores what notions are evoked in a person’s mind when hearing the word ‘reconciliation’. This tries to understand how the public frames the concept of reconciliation in their own words, and how these meanings may be similar to or different from those provided by other actors in society. This is displayed in the above result.
