genevemonde.ch a public history project on the "Genève internationale"
Thanks to our collaboration with the Foundation for the preservation and enhancement of the audiovisual heritage of the Radio Télévision Suisse (FONSART) and its platform geneveMonde.ch, we are now able to make you discover documents and audiovisual archives from the collections of the international organizations in Geneva, the Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS) and all the institutions that share a link with the international history of Geneva.
geneveMonde.ch proposes an original public history project, where all the public can participate in the construction of collective memories. The notion of "shared" history, which also applies to other projects abroad, summarizes this ambition of a history written by and for all publics. Told through the written word, video, audio and photography, the public history of the international Geneva offers opportunities to explore different ways in which, institutional memory, souvenirs and living experiences drive our understanding of peace, war, international cooperation, as well as the place of Geneva in the wider world. HION supports this initiative by making available to HION members some of the content published on the platform. See more on genevemonde.ch

Dive into the heart of the discussions that shaped global environmental policies at a time when Southern countries were striving to make their voices heard against the powers of the North. Through the story of the 1991 Oslo meeting, organized under the aegis of UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development), we explore together the challenges and issues of a globalized economy facing the rise of ecological concerns.
