AVIA - EUROPE, A FAMILY MATTER
When was the last time you wondered what your grandmother's life was like when she was your age? AVIA (Latin for "grandmother") focuses on pairs of granddaughters and grandmothers. The interview series wants to look across borders. Borders between generations, between identities, and between countries in the EU and beyond. The portraits of unique women and stories create an exchange, build trust and enable a change of perspective. Let's talk together about life, feminism, politics and family.
The project was developed in the framework of #RestartEurope. #RestartEurope, the ideas competition for a new togetherness, is a project of the TUI Foundation in cooperation with the think tank iRights.Lab.
