Project 3
What are women
without their history?
What are woman without their history — female immigrants and refugees are visible and raise their voices
Project 3, commenced in 2012, concluded in 2016
The third and last project of this trilogy builds on the ideas and the concepts of the two preceding projects, but it was especially conceived for a group of women. It was carried out in Arabic, partly in English and German. The project aimed to motivate and strengthen the women in their search for their identity while encouraging their integration into German society.
The participants acquired historical knowledge by touching upon their personal stories. Just as in the previous projects working with the biographies of the participants included interviews and storytelling workshops. They explored topics such as “Age of Enlightenment in different Cultures”, “Nation, Nation State and Identity”, “Women under National Socialism” and “Women in the Discourse of Memory since 1945”. A visit to the House of the Wannsee Conference and an exchange with the Neuköllner Stadtteilmütter, "Neighborhood Mothers" of the Borough of Neukölln, completed the learning units. This exchange brought new voices to the discussion and the women glanced into other narratives. As a result the women learned about history in a different context, they exchanged experiences and views and received more insight to develop their own view points.
