Description

Are you passionate about history, anthropology, journalism, or the arts? Are you eager to delve into the untold stories of European borderlands and make a contribution to public knowledge? If so, 'In Between?' awaits you! Our educational project is not just another program—it's an immersive journey into the heart of 20th-century history and its enduring impact on border regions. Through hands-on oral history research, participants like you will have the unique opportunity to unravel the narratives of the past while gaining practical skills and interdisciplinary insights. You’ll start in Warsaw, where our three-day workshop will equip you with the essential tools: interviewing techniques, oral history methods, and audio documentation skills. From there, the group will be divided into two smaller teams and embark on study trips to one of the selected regions: Masuria in Poland and the Estonian-Finnish sea border area. Here you'll meet with history witnesses, scholars, and local activists, capturing their stories for an audio documentary about the history and life of the inhabitants of the region visited. Once the project is completed, the audio documentaries or podcasts will be made available on the ENRS website, on Spotify and on Simplecast, ensuring that the voices of these borderland communities echo across the globe.
