There is an entire team behind every great project. That’s why we, students of the University of Cologne, The Higher School of Economics in Moscow and the University of Warsaw, are going to create a unique space for scholarship and creativity. We are looking forward to work hard and do our best in order to build intercultural understanding and hope to ultimately contribute to the reconnection of East and West. Our mission is to research different historic events, artists and other points of contact that positively influenced our cultures. We seem to have forgotten the good and only remember the bad. We want to revive positive memories and maybe even uncover forgotten ones.
