Mauritius Hosts International Conference on the Indentured Labour Route Project
Mauritius reaffirmed its position on the international stage with the International Conference on the Indentured Labour Route Project, bringing together researchers, historians, heritage professionals and representatives of the global diaspora.
This long-awaited conference provides a unique platform for reflection, dialogue and knowledge-sharing on the history, legacy and global impact of indentured labour. Participants from various regions of the world are examining the experiences, contributions and enduring heritage of indentured communities whose journeys helped shape modern societies across continents.
From Mauritius to India, Fiji, South Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific, the history of indenture remains a powerful bond connecting millions of descendants through shared stories of resilience, sacrifice and aspiration.
The conference also highlights Mauritius’ growing role as a centre of excellence for research, documentation and international cooperation in the field of indenture studies.
