ONLINE ONLY - WE-Hope. Out of War Experiences, Hope for the Future: memories and storytelling for social inclusion
This session can only be accessed online. As someone with an on-site ticket you can access this session using your own device and headset. Room A is available to use to join online sessions.
WE-Hope (2019-2022) is a Creative Europe cooperation project connecting people through memories and experiences of migration in Europe, aiming to promote multiculturalism through sharing experiences of surviving crises across generations, thus bringing ‘old’ Europe and ‘new’ Europe closer together in a common framework of hope for the future. The project uses heritage, art and technology to celebrate our common values: inclusion and togetherness.
To reach this objective, the project partners work together on:
Building a digital repository – A Bank of Memories has been built on testimonies from refugees and migrants and will be freely available
Creating an artistic performance inspired by the testimonies and based on an ancient ‘street art’ form
Producing a learning resource based on the testimonies, to encourage a more inclusive ethos – in multiple languages, free to download.
Join and find out more how WE-Hope aims to make invisible stories and memories visible by promoting the values of a common heritage of tolerance, solidarity, inclusion and mutual respect.
Grew up in South Africa, active in anti-apartheid movement, researcher for Truth and Reconciliation Commission and on South Africa's neglected heritage. Currently engaged in three large social inclusion projects: on the bombing war in Europe; on migrants in Europe and on Lincolnshire's neglected heritage.

About me
I was born and raised in the Netherlands. I studied Theology in Frankfurt and Information Science in Potsdam. My digital working life started in libraries as a database manager. In 2000, I joined the Dutch Patent Office; since then I have been working for several departments of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, acting at the intersection of users and IT specialists.
I’m retired now and an avid museum visitor, Europeana user and OpenGLAM advocate. My network consists of GLAM professionals, cultural workers and bloggers.
