Participants started with a three-day workshop in Warsaw, focusing on interviewing, oral history, and audio documentation. Soon they’ll split into two teams for study trips to Masuria in Poland and the Estonian-Finnish sea border area.
In Masuria, participants will explore the complex Polish-German history, while the second group uncovers the intertwined past of Tallinn and Helsinki.
Their findings will be crafted into audio documentaries, available soon on the ENRS website, Spotify, and Simplecast.
‘In Between?’, an educational project running since April 2016, aims to explore the history of the 20th century and its legacy in border regions. The participants are given the opportunity to conduct oral history research in European borderlands. Gaining theoretical knowledge and interdisciplinary and practical skills, they record history’s witnesses, local activists and representatives from local institutions, in order to create a podcast about the specificities of the border region they visit.
