How to develop and implement public participation in history museums to enrich existing narratives and bring more diversity to the content proposed? To investigate this question, the PHACS Team inaugurated a temporary interactive installation at the House of European History in November 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Public History as the New Citizen Science of the Past (PHACS)<\/a> project held at the C\u00b2DH, develops public history practices and participatory models<\/strong> to interpret the past<\/strong>. Focusing on the production of history with a public perspective, this project, led by P.I. Prof Dr Thomas Cauvin<\/a>, aims to facilitate interactions<\/strong> between academics, cultural institutions, groups, associations, and the general public to contribute to a democratisation not only of access but also of the production of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within this framework, PhD Candidate Camilla Portesani<\/a>, Prof Dr Thomas Cauvin and Dr Violeta Tsenova worked towards a creating a pilot project in collaboration with the House of European History (HEH): the Pa<\/a>rticipatory Public History Lab<\/a> (PPHL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together they posed the question of how to develop and implement public participation in history museums to enrich existing narratives and bring more diversity to the content proposed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To explore this, Portesani and her colleagues developed a new participatory methodology to foster transnational collaborative history-making. This project stands as the main case study of Portesani\u2019s PhD dissertation as she strives to analyse the project from the perspective of a public historian and researcher, but also as project manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
