'In Between?' 2022: Sound of Division

European Network Remembrance and Solidarity

'Sound of Division' is a podcast from the 'In Between?' 2022 series, created by an international group of European students that took part in workshops and study visit in the Italian-Slovenian borderland region in July 2022. When we look at a border, we usually see two separate sides, each of them with the markers of individuality, distinctiveness and difference. But the case of Gorizia and Nova Gorica is an exceptional one, as cultures, traditions and histories cannot be unanimously narrated, explained and passed down onto newer generations. Throughout the podcast a broad range of interconnected topics is covered, from historical contexts and different perceptions within the borderland, through contemporary issues and politics of separation, to the grand joint project – becoming the European Capital of Culture in 2025, and the concerns that come along with it. Produced by: Federico Cormaci, Anela Dumonjić, Lena Fuhrmann, Nina Glavan, Benjamin Hoffmann, Roberta Ida Immenschuh, Urban Makorič, Jadwiga Mik and Anna Wachowiak (ENRS) with the support of Bartosz Panek, FreeRange Productions. With the contribution of Lucia Pillon, Mara Cernic, team of GO! 2025 – European Capital of Culture, Nova Gorica. Project "In Between?" 2022 is co-funded by European Union. The series of study visits 'In Between?', initiated in April 2016 by the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity, draws on from the methodology of oral history. So far, more than 130 young people (under 26 years of age) have participated in seven editions of the project and visited a total of 22 multicultural regions of Europe.
