remembrance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each partner film school has selected a secondary school in its own country.<br>Workshops are taking place simultaneously, guided by historians, teachers, and experts who contributed to the research behind the \u201cHouses of Mic\u00f2l\u201d, alongside the filmmakers producing the project\u2019s short films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are not just recipients of knowledge: they are its authors.<br>They analyse documents, reconstruct biographies, reflect on the Shoah and on present-day discrimination, and learn to translate all this into narrative form \u2014 articles, interviews, reflections, and visual or written materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These contributions will become part of the project\u2019s official blog, creating a European narrative archive written by young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The first chapter: Ferrara<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ferrara, the project\u2019s lead city, is the first to launch the workshop.<br>The school involved is the&nbsp;<strong>Istituto di Istruzione Superiore Luigi Einaudi<\/strong>, a long-standing educational partner in initiatives dedicated to memory and civic education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lessons are led by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prof. Michele Ronchi Stefanati<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prof. Eleonora Bentivogli<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With their guidance, students are exploring the stories of the four Ferrara-based Mic\u00f2ls identified by the project \u2014 and the houses where they lived their last happy moments, now part of the&nbsp;<em>Le Case di Mic\u00f2l<\/em>&nbsp;digital platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop includes archival research, reading of historical sources, exchanges with filmmakers, and creative and critical writing sessions, allowing each student to develop and express a personal point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Students as narrators of memory<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop is designed to transform learning into storytelling.<br>Each student will produce an original signed contribution \u2014 an article, an interview, or a personal reflection \u2014 to be published on the project\u2019s blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their voices, diverse in tone and background, will form a living and plural memory capable of speaking to their peers across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first contributions from the Einaudi students will be published soon, inaugurating this new section of the blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr

far more than a school activity:<br>it is an exercise in citizenship, responsibility, and civic imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a Europe marked by identity conflicts and new forms of discrimination, the young people involved in the project are learning to practise active remembrance \u2014 to recognise the signals of the past in order to better understand the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this experience does not end in Ferrara.<br><strong>Workshops have already begun in the secondary schools selected by the other European partners<\/strong>, expanding the mosaic of voices, languages, and
