*Raising Visibility through Participatory Approaches – *online event
<minor-kontor.de/female-perspectives-on-migration-and-labour-history/>

*within the project “Female Labour Migration in European History”*

*with Vũ Vân Phạm, Tina de Gendt and Gabriela Nicolescu*

*24 June 2025, 4.30-6:00 pm CET, online*

Although labour migration has profoundly shaped European societies in
the 20th century, its presence in collective memory and educational
curricula remains marginalized – particularly when it comes to female
perspectives and experiences.

The transnational project “*Female Labour Migration in European History*
<minor-kontor.de/femig-lab-en/>” (FeMig.Lab) aims to make more
visible the often-overlooked intersections of women’s, migration and
labour history in Europe. It also examines how these histories continue
to influence today’s structures of inclusion, exclusion, and
intersectional discrimination.

In this online event, we will explore *participatory public history
approaches* to integrate the experiences and agencies of female migrant
workers throughout the 20th’s century Europe into educational and
exhibition programs. Together with*Vũ Vân Phạm, Tina de Gendt and
Gabriela Nicolescu*, we’ll showcase oral history, space-, object- and
picture-based storytelling, grassroot heritage, exhibition, and graphic
novel app projects – each offering unique ways to represent and engage
with different aspects of European Female Labour Migration History.

We invite you to join us in a conversation about*democratizing European
remembrance*:

* How can diverse communities and especially marginalized people be
better involved in negotiating public narratives?
* How can we ensure that we are dealing responsibly with the
representation of personal stories?
* What does ‘participation’ truly mean and entail in the practice of
public history projects?

Join us to discover inspiring projects and engage in a dialogue about
inclusive public history in Europe!
