BRIDGING GENERATIONS

Bridging Generations is an eighteen-month-project (October 2014 - March 2016) within the framework of the Europe for Citizens Programme, under Strand 1: European Remembrance. The project seeks to raise awareness on remembrance and common history and values. It also seeks to promote the European citizenship by bridging the gap between generations and involving them in an intergenerational and intercultural dialogue... The main focus is on the memories of senior citizens from Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy and Poland who lived during and after WWII. Their stories will be collected in order to appreciate the role of collective memories in achieving mutual understanding and cultural diversity. Using the method of biographical narrative the impact of WWII on shaping national identities and the commemoration of the victims of war in Europe will be examined and discussed.
