CONCILIARE | Confidently Changing Colonial Heritage

CONCILIARE is a transnational, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary research project, aiming to analyse public perceptions of cultural heritage and to develop studies on how citizens adhere to, confront or contest ongoing transformations.
The CECS team leads the Communication Work Package and co-leads the Work Package on “Public Spaces”, where it is responsible for the task titled “Co-creation and Dissemination of Inclusive Decolonial Narratives”. This task seeks to foster the collaborative creation of decolonial narratives across various European cities, particularly through public art projects developed in partnership with diverse community associations.
The impact of these actions will be assessed through interviews with different target audiences and focus groups conducted in schools.
