EUrban DECO project \u2013 Exploring EU urban landscapes for a deconstruction of colonial narratives.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

EUrban DECO – \u201cExplorer les paysages urbains de l'UE pour d\u00e9construire les r\u00e9cits coloniaux<\/strong>\u201d, running from March 2024 to February 2026, explore the colonial legacy inside today\u2019s <\/strong>EU cities. By exploring symbols, romanticized narratives, and toponymy, the project aims to investigate the long-lasting influence of colonial ideologies in EU urban environments, starting a collective debate about their impact and promoting new narratives and shared cultural remembrance inside EU cities\u2019 toponymy. The colonial legacy of Europe\u2019s recent past will be put at the core of this transnational investigation aimed at raising awareness on the relationship between urban landscapes, historic memory and multicultural integration and attracting wider attention on the topic from public authorities and stakeholders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key outcomes of the project are: first, the creation of updated urban maps for the seven cities involved in the project, highlighting key traces linked to the colonial legacy (toponymy, buildings, monuments) and symbolically renaming them under the perspective of colonized peoples to develop a more inclusive historical narrative. Second, the organization of seven transnational events, each addressing a specific topic of European colonial history, that will actively involve key target groups such as immigrant communities, minorities, women and local authorities. Third, the establishment of a transnational citizens’ network aimed to attract policy makers\u2019 attention to the topic of colonial legacy in EU cities and demanding collective action to re-discuss it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All project activities will be carried out keeping a close focus on gender perspective, considering the historical interconnections between gender issues and colonialism. A gender-sensitive approach will therefore be ensured in all events, thanks to the supervision and thematic and methodological coordination of Women of Mediterranean east and south European Network (IT), Vital Aid Foundation (NL) and Solution: Solidarit\u00e9 et Inclusion Association (FR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is therefore in this context that SOLUTION is organising an event on 2, 3 and 4 December 2025 focusing on multiculturalism in French society. The programme includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
