Description: The project aims to create in a former Italian border tollgate (former Rafut pedestrian border in Gorica) an open historical laboratory dedicated to exploring daily life in the period of stabilization of the border until its fall, with focus mainly between the 1960s and 1980s. In this context, ISIG organized the “Tell me about your border” workshop in which 15 undergraduate students from various disciplines gained knowledge about the context of the border area and skills on conducting interviews.
