Cabinets of Curiosities
Explore cultural heritage from across Europe. Perform four-step Readings that connect the past to EU policy — and imagine the futures we want to build together.
The four-step Reading
Read the object
Describe the artifact — its origin, material, context, and what it tells us about the past.
Read the silences
Identify whose voices are missing. Who would tell this story differently?
Read the present
Connect the artifact to an active EU policy framework.
Reimagine
Propose a transmission narrative and link it to a European Youth Goal.
