Discovering what has been silenced: Teaching about the Italian participation in the Civil War and the experience of the bombings

Workshop | Memory of Bombings 2023

This workshop is the result of the development of a stable work space integrated by several researchers and institutions from Spain and Italy that seek to reflect on the memory of the Italian participation in the bombings of towns and cities during the Spanish Civil War. It aims to improve knowledge on this matter and to address the issue of reparations and recognition. After a first meeting in Gernika in 2022, this workshop is now open for teachers and other professionals working with the didactics of the social sciences throughout a collaboration with the Institute of Professional Development of the University of Barcelona.
