The purpose of this research was to study the interviewees’ experience of their reconciliation process and the influence of the Amataba Workshops on their healing process. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with five pairs (N = 10) of Tutsi survivors of the Rwandan genocide and their perpetrators, members of the Hutu majority; they had all participated in an intervention to promote reconciliation. The Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method was chosen to study the transcripts. Analysis resulted in nine main relevant categories that should be taken into account while designing a reconciliation-oriented intervention, including truth, listening to each other, justice, repairing the damage, and collaboration on joint projects. The results of this research show how these processes can occur when reconciliation-oriented interventions are facilitated. For some interviewees, these workshops have become a crucial turning point and helped them set aside the hatred and pain.

本研究的目的是研究受访者在和解过程中的体验以及 Amataba Workshops 对他们康复过程的影响。对五对（N = 10）卢旺达种族灭绝的图西族幸存者及其肇事者，胡图族多数成员；他们都参加了促进和解的干预。选择解释性现象学分析 (IPA) 方法来研究转录本。分析得出在设计以和解为导向的干预措施时应考虑的九个主要相关类别，包括真相、相互倾听、正义、修复损害以及联合项目的合作。这项研究的结果表明，当以和解为导向的干预措施得到促进时，这些过程是如何发生的。对于一些受访者来说，这些工作坊已经成为一个关键的转折点，帮助他们放下仇恨和痛苦。
