This workshop will delve into personal narratives from the Civil War era, exploring how shared memories can educate and resonate with future generations. A group of neighbors in Santa Coloma inspired a local elder to document his life experiences, highlighting the impact of war, exile, and resilience amidst turmoil. The workshop, led by cultural guide Pere Cowley, will facilitate discussions centered around the survivor's stories and the significant events of that time, emphasizing the lessons learned from history. Participants will also reflect on the broader impact of these stories in fostering a more just world through understanding and memorialization.
