<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Memories that Make Us: Storying Italian Immigration to Victoria in the post-war period</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In partnership with Co.As.IT: Italian Assistance Association, Deakin University are undertaking an 18 month research project to record and archive the migration stories of post second world war Italian Migrants. This $250,000 funded project
intends to shine a light on the dominant cultural and social values that Italian migrants encountered on their arrival to Australia and their settlement in Victoria. This will enable us to curate a shared ‘past’ and create a living history for all generations
to gather around and learn from. The project will result in a feature-length documentary, digital archive and website, and interactive exhibition, alongside archival reports and research articles.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The project is aimed at Italian migrants aged 70 and over, who migrated to Australia and settled in Victoria from 1945 onwards. The project will include participants filling out – with advocates, family and community members - a detailed
questionnaire, the running of over 30 community-based focus groups, and the conducting of at least 25 individual interviews. Personal items, secondary materials, historical reports and news and documentary footage will provide us with contextual material.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a call for colleagues to circulate this participation request amongst their relevant networks, and family and community groups.
