The field of Memory Studies has largely won the ground of debates and discussions amongst participants, yet without overlooking multi-layered and interdisciplinary facets that play a crucial role when it comes to (re-)address the post-1989 developments, hopes and transition in Central and Eastern Europe. Throughout the 4-day school, participants have also discovered hidden places, cultural heritage and people’s memories of Wrosław by visiting the city and meeting up with witnesses who stood for human rights and dignity, democracy and civil rights, peace and freedom under Communism in Poland during the 80s. Meeting figures and activists who continue up until today to keep their personal as well as collective memories of the past, has been centrally paramount to shed new light on those grassroots events that began to reshape Europe on both sides of the Iron Curtain.
