The permanent Online Exhibition displays all the project’s outcomes and narratives to preserve the digitised and collected materials, as well as the methodologies of the educational activities. The materials and projects were created as part of the local events, as well as during the Memory Route activities. Here you can find the untold stories of women who played a crucial role in resistance and anti-regime movements across Europe during the 20th century: in Greece and Italy during the Second World War, in post-civil war Spain, and in 1980s Poland.

Their actions not only influenced the resistance movements in their respective countries but also defined their lives. You can read about them in the Repository of Life Stories, hear their stories in the Podcasts, see them acting in the Theatrical Play, learn how you can educate by using their stories in the Pedagogic Dossier, and the narrative scenarios in the Narrative Games. Last, you can see the trip that a group of 40 final-year university students did over four months in Greece, Italy, Spain and Poland in the Memory Route.
Enjoy!

This digital repository includes short biographies of women whose lives were marked by their participation in resistance and anti-regime movements in different places and times: in Greece and Italy during the Second World War, in post-civil war Spain, and in 1980s Poland.

The stories are accompanied by a short historical context and illustrated by photographs and archival documents. They were created as part of the WIRE project, aiming to rethink the historical narratives of resistance movements in Europe, and to reshape historical memory and the values associated with it.
