YOU2_TELL_EU
This project aimed to preserve and transmit the memories of immigrants from Eastern Europe, based on accounts of their experiences leading up to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The project was supported by storytelling labs and screening sessions of the produced videos. CEPESE was the institution responsible for disseminating the project in Portugal and took part in organizing the European Storytelling Laboratory and the European Event on Oral History and Storytelling "You2TellEU," in collaboration with the Associazione Nazionale Comuni Italiani Toscana (Italy) and the St Vincent's Family Project (United Kingdom).
On March 9, 2018, at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto, the final seminar of the project took place, dedicated to the theme "Immigration in Eastern Europe and Cultural Memory." During this seminar, discussions focused on the identity of immigrants and conceptualized their relationship with the rest of Europe. Participants included representatives from the High Commission for Migration, the Secretariat of the Commission for Culture and Education, and the International Relations Services of the University of Porto.
