Description
In Between? is an educational project of study visits to 4 multicultural borderland regions of Central Eastern Europe in search of local histories. The initiative targets people aged 18-25 and aims to improve the knowledge young Europeans have on historical processes in 20th-century East-Central Europe. The participants selected in the recruitment process are going to take part in workshops and study visits to one of the four European regions. The study visits and the preparatory workshops shall take place on 31 March – 10 April 2016.
Workshops will be delivered in Warsaw by experts in most recent history, oral history, anthropology and archival studies who will train the participants in basic methods of collecting reports and photograph digitalisation. After the workshops, the participants (in teams of six) will go for week-long study visits to border places in four regions of East-Central Europe (Bukovina, Lubuskie Region, Banská Bystrica Region and Transylvania).
The visits will result in collecting interviews and audio-visuals documents which reflect the past of a given region. The project participants will also attempt to make the narratives that they will have collected a part of a broader context of Europe’s regional history. The project will close with a conference to be held in Warsaw in late 2016.
