Oral history – voice of the voiceless
Ordinary people, extraordinary stories Witnesses to barbarism Testimonies of hope Lives made special through the ties that bind Echoes of our futures Parables of transcendence

Meaning in the chaos
Defining a citizenship of mutual support Letting the voice speak
Man, by his very nature, tends to give himself an explanation of the world into which he is born… Every individual, even the least intelligent, the lowest of outcasts, from childhood on gives himself some explanation of the world. And with it he manages to live. And without it, he would sink into madness.Elsa MoranteHistory: A Novel

Back to Gauguin…
Making sense of ourselves helps to make sense of the other Recording stories creates new possibilities for meaning Skills multiply, artists are born The journey has meaning, the voyage has purpose
Great poetry is capable of dealing with erotic passion, but it has to be the very greatest to represent that deeper and more tortuous love -- more rooted, more absolute -- which we devote to our children, and which it is so hard to talk about.Claudio Magris Danube: A Sentimental Journey from the Source to the Black Sea

From past to future in the city of Eminescu...
When memory of bygone days
My spirit would detain,
Down long and often trodden ways
I travel the past again.
Când amintirile-n trecut
Incearca sã mã cheme,
Pe drumul lung si cunoscut
Mai trec din vreme-n vreme.

Historical imperatives Stories bind We are shaped by the past – collective and individual Each story acts as a bridge to the Other Communication is shaped by story telling and collecting Common humanity is infinitely varied – but ultimately
connected The experiences of MyStory can create repositories of real
meaning and value
