The team behind the project “Émigré Europe” are glad to announce a special webinar celebrating the launch of the project’s public heritage exhibition at kadocheritage.be. This online exhibition contains a selection of contributions produced by the project’s partners, outlining a wealth of civil society mobilizations by Central and Eastern European migrants in the Low Countries during the period 1933-1989.
The exhibition’s purpose is to emphasize the potential that forgotten stories like these can play in curating the heritage, commemorating, and documenting the histories of the unique circumstances that these Central European émigré communities faced, living in Belgium and the Netherlands, during this tumultuous period of modern history.
The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday 1 March 2023 from 16:00-18:00, and the team is delighted to host three notable keynote speakers who have demonstrated expertise in the fields of migration history and civil society during the Cold War.
