Granito: Every Memory Matters (GEMM) is an outreach project that aims to engage Guatemalan youth (70% of the population is under 30) with their elders about the genocidal war waged against the indigenous population that took the lives of an estimated 200,000 people and disappeared another 20,000.

The goal of the “Every Memory Matters” project is to restore the collective memory of the Guatemalan people, both in Guatemala and amongst the 1.3 million Guatemalans living in the diaspora.

The idea is to facilitate an intergenerational exchange that will awaken the collective memory of Guatemala and make it available in a public archive.

By harnessing the power of memory, and facilitating an intergenerational exchange, we hope to awaken the collective memory of Guatemala and make it available in a public archive for the next generation.
