Transnational project that aims to promote knowledge about the forced labour of Portuguese and Spanish people during the III Reich. Its main objectives are the creation of a digital platform with information about the Portuguese and Spanish who were forced labourers during that period and the production of pedagogical and exhibition materials.
Thus, the project includes training actions for teachers in Portugal and Spain, as well as the production of pedagogical material and itinerant exhibitions. Having as a starting point the exhibition “Portuguese forced labourers in the III Reich”, prepared for the Centro Cultural de Belém, the project has already originated exhibitions adapted to cities as diverse as Loulé, Vila Nova de Famalicão or Sintra, as well as in the Assembly of the Republic. It will culminate with a new exhibition in Paris.
