By exploring symbols, romanticized narratives, and toponymy, it aims to expose the lasting influence of colonial ideologies in EU cities. The project is funded by the CERV – European Remembrance Programme and involves partners from Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Albania and Germany. The key outcomes of the project are: first of all, the creation of updated urban maps for the seven participating cities, highlighting colonial traces (toponomy, buildings, monuments) and symbolically renaming of significant locations from the perspective of colonized peoples to reflect a more inclusive historical narrative. Secondly, the organization of seven transnational events, each addressing a specific aspect of European colonial history, designed to be highly participatory, involving target groups such as immigrant communities, minorities, women, and local authorities. Thirdly, the establishment of a transnational citizens’ network to enhance the audience towards the topic.
