Project“Female perspectives on democratic transitions in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s” <\/strong><\/h1>\n

The aim of the project “Female perspectives on democratic transitions in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s” is to bring people from different European countries together by celebrating those who stood up for democracy, freedom and diversity.<\/p>\n

In its essence, the project sheds light on the brave women who played a key role on Europe’s path to democracy. These women bravely resisted political violence and opposed oppressive regimes and curtailment of human rights.<\/p>\n

Three key areas<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project has three dimensions through which it will highlight the importance of democratic transitions in Europe.
\nFirst, it will offer insight into the involvement of women in democratic changes and social and political upheavals in Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy, Slovenia and Spain.<\/p>\n

Second, the project has a strong educational dimension, implemented through a number of educational activities for young people and training for teachers.<\/p>\n

Third, the project will develop an advocacy dimension that will engage European citizens, decision-makers and public officials in a dialogue on how to achieve gender equality in the understanding of history.<\/p>\n

The project includes study visits, educational workshops for young people, public debates with citizens and MEPs, training for teachers and the conference “(In)visibility of women’s contribution to democratic transitions in Europe”.<\/p>\n

Why the female perspectives?<\/strong>
\nGender equality, when it comes to understanding history, is not a fad or a trend. We believe that it is necessary to offer a different model of interpretation of recent history, especially democratic transitions, and introduce a model that includes the views of women, who are mostly ignored by historiography and formal education.<\/p>\n

Taking these aspects into account, we believe that it is important to address democratization, democratic transition with young people and encourage the rejection of autocracy and the violation of fundamental human rights.<\/p>\n

Podcasts<\/strong>
\nAs part of this project, we created a series of podcasts “Women’s perspectives on democratization”.<\/a><\/p>\n

Podcasts give voice to the witnesses of time. During the research and in the conversations with the interlocutors, it became clear that there is a great need for educational content that deals with the processes of democratization and takes into account women’s experiences and views on past events.<\/p>\n

Time Witnesses in Slovenia are: Antonija (Ton\u010dka) Sen\u010dar, dr. Spomenka Hribar, dr. Svetlana Slap\u0161ak and Nata\u0161a Serec.<\/p>\n
