Pablo from Spain has several colleagues coming from other countries, especially from Romania and asked whether he can make an entry about the events in Romania. Yes, you can, but you can also ask your relatives about changes in Spain in the 1980s, and they might tell you a lot about the way they perceived the consolidation of democracy or about the consequences of EU-accession.

Larisa from Russia asked whether she should only seek for a political topic. Well, we think that it would be interesting to show how people from Russia began to be politically active in the 1980s, especially if you focus on stories from your community or family. But if you prefer something less political, this is fine with us. You should only start from one or more historical sources – a photo, a diary, a newspaper article etc. – and then present what these sources tell about the historical change in your country.
Next Upload: Friday, June 26th!
Next Upload: Monday, June 22nd!
Carl from Sweden wrote to us that his university is now located in a former military building, which has been turned to the education system after the end of the Cold War and the subsequent reduction of the military. He asked whether such a story of an indirect influence fits into our general theme. Yes, it does.
Jeanette from Belgium wrote that it is difficult for her to find original sources about the 1989 revolutions. This is true, but it should not be an impediment for participating. Change is broader than strictly the revolutions, so you can start from one or several photos from the 1980s, put these photos in the historical context they were produced, and outline the social change they document. Or, you can also investigate how the fall of communism was perceived in your country, community or family.
Next Upload: Friday, June 19th!

On June 4, 1989, the Poles have won an overwhelming victory over their rulers in the first free elections in a still communist country. Twenty years later, Poland is on the second place in Europe with respect to the number of entries contributed to the 1989 – Images of change competition, but its potential is obviously higher. The competition team challenges young Europeans from Poland to live up to their glorious tradition, and win a victory as resounding as that of their elders in 1989.

The organizers strongly encourage entries based on diaries and interviews of parents and relatives. A major aim of the “1989 Images of Change” competition is to collect information and to encourage the analysis of the experiences and feelings of normal people who lived on both sides of the “Iron Curtain” during the years 1980-1991. The EUSTORY Jury will certainly appreciate entries of this type!
