3rd Workshop “Memory without borders”

IN RIVERS CONFLUENCE

Life on Slovak – Austrian border

The State Archives in Bratislava and the project CrArc invite you to a historical journey through the Slovak-Austrian border region!
History of Slovakia and Austria is joined by many common roots.

→ The geopolitical space of Lower Austria and west part of Slovakia and their interaction

→ The March and the Danube – connecting and separating elements

→ Introducing significant Slovak characters of political, economic and cultural life who operated in Austria (and vice versa)

→ Enlightenment (societies, publications, education, etc.)
