Set along the Neisse River, this podcast explores the turbulent history of the twin city of Görlitz and Zgorzelec. This region is a place where history, memory and identity are constantly reshaped not only by mental and physical barriers but also by the landscape. These define what it means to live in the borderlands. Borders may be drawn on maps, but here, through various initiatives, local people create a transnational community based on shared values and the will to cooperate.

„Mazury – gdzieś pomiędzy” to podcast stworzony przez międzynarodową grupę studentów i studentek, biorących udział w warsztatach i w wizytach studyjnych na Mazurach w ramach projektu ‘In Between?’ we wrześniu 2024 roku. 

‘Masuria - somewhere in between’ is a podcast from the 'In Between?' 2024 series, created by an international group of European students who took part in workshops and a study visit to the Masuria region in September 2024.

'(Un)common borderland' is a podcast from the 'In Between?' 2024 series, created by an international group of European students that took part in workshops and study visit in the Finnish-Estonian borderland region in September 2024.

'Sound of Division' is a podcast from the 'In Between?' 2022 series, created by an international group of European students that took part in workshops and study visit in the Italian-Slovenian borderland region in July 2022. When we look at a border, we usually see two separate sides, each of them with the markers of individuality, distinctiveness and difference. But the case of Gorizia and Nova Gorica is an exceptional one, as cultures, traditions and histories cannot be unanimously narrated, explained and passed down onto newer generations. Throughout the podcast a broad range of interconnected topics is covered, from historical contexts and different perceptions within the borderland, through contemporary issues and politics of separation, to the grand joint project – becoming the European Capital of Culture in 2025, and the concerns that come along with it. Produced by: Federico Cormaci, Anela Dumonjić, Lena Fuhrmann, Nina Glavan, Benjamin Hoffmann, Roberta Ida Immenschuh, Urban Makorič, Jadwiga Mik and Anna Wachowiak (ENRS) with the support of Bartosz Panek, FreeRange Productions. With the contribution of Lucia Pillon, Mara Cernic, team of GO! 2025 – European Capital of Culture, Nova Gorica. Project "In Between?" 2022 is co-funded by European Union. The series of study visits 'In Between?', initiated in April 2016 by the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity, draws on from the methodology of oral history. So far, more than 130 young people (under 26 years of age) have participated in seven editions of the project and visited a total of 22 multicultural regions of Europe.

'Everyone has their own Alsace' is a podcast from the 'In Between?' 2022 series, created by an international group of European students that took part in workshops and study visit in the French-German borderland region in July 2022. The participants of the project spent one week next to the bucolic town Niederbronn-les-Bains 40 km north of Strasbourg. The authors of the podcast were visiting historic sites and interviewing local partners about their identity living in a region on the French-German borderland of very special and traumatic experiences in 20th century history. Learn more about their own reflection about borderland identity, historic memory and the role of local language and culture.

'Bridges over the Olza' is a podcast from the 'In Between?' 2022 series, created by an international group of European students that took part in workshops and study visit in the Polish-Czech borderland region in July 2022. There are two bridges crossing the Olza river, which connect Cieszyn in Poland and Český Těšín in the Czech Republic: the Bridge of Friendship and the Bridge of Freedom. Both towns were once one, but since the last century, they have been divided by borderlines. The history of the region is preserved in the local Silesian dialect as well as other remnants of the old order. What are those remnants? How did the border look like after Poland and Czech Republic joined Schengen? How does it manifest today in peoples’ lives and minds? Produced by: Dorota Błaszczyk, Julia Ciołek, Adam Crhák, Magda Kopańska, McCall Mash, Luděk Němec, Ema Polívková, Veronika Warzycha, Maciej Zawistowski with the support of Beata Tomczyk (ENRS) and Jarosław Kociszewski, FreeRange Productions.

We are in Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia, a small North European country, which for the first time emerged as an independent state right after the Great War. This is a story of a small Baltic nation which seized the opportunity to become independent of two great European powers, Germany and Russia. Tallinn was the biggest city in the area at that time. Its strategic importance played a crucial role in Estonian War of Independence.

The Lithuanian minority in interwar Vilnius according to censuses held by the Polish authorities represented about 1 per cent of the total population of the city. They were not numerous, but well organized – most of them belonged to the intelligentsia, they had their own theatre, political parties, a hospital, private schools, newspapers, art exhibitions.

Roztocze, region położony na granicy polsko-ukraińskiej, to miejsce, w którym niegdyś łączyły się losy Polaków, Ukraińców i Żydów. Te czasy jednak minęły, a pozostały po nich jedynie nostalgia i gorycz. Niniejszy podcast przedstawia różne punkty widzenia na to, czym jest pogranicze.

Kaunas was a relatively minor and neglected city which happened to became a capital of the new Lithuanian state after the Great War. By 1920, with Vilnius under Polish military control, it assumed this unique, temporary status. Geopolitical tensions and territorial conflicts, however, fostered growth and urban development of the city, where carriages and horse carts crossing the central Mud and Goose Streets were considered the most developed means of public transport.

Borderlands lie somewhere in-between. Their identities are complex and controversial. There is no universal understanding of what it means to live on a border. We explore geographic aspects of the Ukrainian borderlands. We tell stories of various identities, and how they influence everyday life.

Roztocze on the Polish-Ukrainian border is a place where the fates of Jews, Poles and Ukrainians used to be intertwined. These times are gone, leaving behind a legacy of nostalgia and bitterness. This podcast shows a range of views on the experience of the borderland.

In the shadows of the Beskid Mountains ethnic minorities try to keep their identities alive. What are the challenges for Rusyns and Lemkos on the Polish–Slovak border? How do activists save the heritage of the Jewish community? How does it feel like to be in between a violent past and a hopeful future?

A group of young people from Germany and Poland conducted oral history research in Usedom/Uznam, an island in the Baltic Sea that is divided by the German–Polish border. They found out how the neighbours of both countries think about their borderlands. Are they In Between or are they Together?

Two worlds collided in Vienna at the end of the war. The new one, not yet fully known, was just arriving, and the old one, visible most fully in the rich, representative architecture of the imperial palaces, opera house, art galleries, magnificent public buildings, was passing into history after 650 years. After an empire that lasting over six centuries, the capital was now "too big" for the new Austria.

Transgresje polsko-żydowskie w Lublinie tuż po 1918 roku - mieście średniej wielkości, położonym w centralnej części II RP typowym ośrodku dwóch głównych narodowości i kultur - polskiej i żydowskiej.

Located in the center of the country, Lublin was a laboratory for Polish multiculturalism after the end of World War I. How did different worlds - mainly Polish and Jewish - lived together in the city? What was the position of the Evangelicals, and what of the Orthodox? Does the history of Lublin's multiculturalism continue today?

Znajdujący się w centrum kraju Lublin był po zakończeniu I wojny światowej laboratorium polskiej wielokulturowości. Jak ze sobą żyły w mieście różne światy - głównie polski i żydowski? Jakie miejsce zajmowali ewangelicy, a jakie prawosławni? Czy historia wielokulturowości Lublina znajduje współczesną kontynuację?
