The scope of the collaborative project is to contribute to EUROTALES, our Museum of the Voices of Europe. EUROTALES gathers research data with the active collaboration of staff, students and the general public. It has the ambition of establishing new approaches to researching, representing and studying, as well as sharing the intangible cultural heritage constituted by the many languages used in Europe in the past and today. Our collective aim is to reveal the archaeology of languages stratified in our personal histories, territories and traditions, with a view to understand the changes that have occurred over time and place as well as in social and political history.

The physical mobility section of the course will be running from 7 to 11 January 2025. Selected students will arrive in Rome and participate in seminars and itineraries (20 hrs). The programme of the physical component of the course includes:

  • Discussion and presentation of the work students submitted
  • Visit to the EUROTALES museum
  • Seminar with curators from another European Language Museum
