NARDIV: United in Narrative Diversity?
Europe is grappling with resurging cultural and national stereotypes amid crises like migration, Covid-19, democratic setbacks, and the conflict in Ukraine. This has led to a growing disconnect between Eastern and Western Europe, with differing views on European identity and principles. This project aims to explore ways to bridge this gap through cultural and heritage exchanges, focusing on six countries: France, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, and Romania. Scholars, cultural practitioners, artists, and industry players are collaborating to address historical, emotional, and digital challenges. The goal is to revitalize cultural exchanges, strengthen European values, and counter populist narratives, promoting a more inclusive European identity.
