About the project
•
•
With the project “Once upon today…in Europe” we are inviting participants to think about history, memory, and identity.The project focuses on issues of
belonging and identity in Europe. What narratives about Europe are prevalent in different local, national or other commemorative cultures? Which aspects are
suppressed and which ones highlighted? How can European history be told in a way that fosters mutual understanding in Europe and brings people together?
Students will try to find answers to these questions through doing research about important events that took place in their towns in the 19-20th centuries, they
will share the origins of their towns’ names and legends which then will be illustrated. They will try to find some hidden stories or ‘mystery clad in marble’. They
will create The Gallery of Glory depicting famous people who come from or worked in their towns. And finally they wiil discuss the burning issues common to the
whole of Europe, comparing and analising.
