INDIANAPOLIS, January 20, 2024 — Burmese American Community Institute (BACI), in partnership with co-hosts and collaborators, will be hosting the Spring Flowers III International Conference on Myanmar from February 7 to 10, 2024.
The conference will bring together local, national, and international actors from diverse backgrounds in an effort to support peace and democracy in Myanmar (Burma).
More than 50 scholars and researchers and many other speakers from activist and advocacy groups, rights groups, student unions, university councils, and international organizations will make presentations and participate in discussions on humanitarian aid, constitutional development, democratic institution building, human rights and religious freedom, and the role of the international community in bringing about change in the Southeast Asian nation.
