Migrating Memories - MIMEMultimedia project to record the memories of young immigrants
Partners:Malmö Museum (Sweden), Museum Centre Vapriikki (Finland), Nottingham Trent University (UK)
Funding Bodies:EU Culture 2000 Programme
Project Description:MIME was a one year project which was carried out in 2001. It consisted of four parts:
1. Workshops with young immigrants in Malmö (Sweden), Tampere (Finland) and Nottingham (England) about the importance of safe-keeping memories
2. a dramatised travelling exhibition3. an interactive multilingual web site and 4. a closing seminar of two days on the methods and the importance of incorporating migration memory,
cultural heritage and identity in museums.
The young immigrants involved in the project, who had all arrived in Europe quite recently, each created a "memory space", many of them with photographs of objects they had brought with them and the story of how they came to their new countries of residence, written in the newly acquired language. The "memory spaces" are preserved on a public website, for others to read and for the young immigrants themselves, in case they want to look at them again at a later time of their lives.
Lessons to be Learned:The project tried to create a bond between the immigrants and their new society through compassion and understanding by providing a space for safe-keeping their recorded memories and photographs of souvenirs and sharing them with others. The project has influenced other museums to implement similar projects.
Target Groups:Young immigrants aged 18-35, general public
