Cr.E.I. project is promoted by the Digspes Department of the University of Eastern Piedmont (UPO), in collaboration with Cultura e Sviluppo Association, ISRAL, Historical Archives of the European Union. It is financed by the European Union, Erasmus + programme, Jean Monnet modules. 

It aims at introducing a reflection on European intellectual and cultural history from 1945 to the 21st century, encouraging students of Digspes courses (Department of Law and Political, Economic and Social Sciences) to reflect on the role that visual arts, media development, and literature had in the construction of European identity, and on their contribution to our perception of the past. Within this perspective, the project aims at stimulating both DIGSPES students and high school teachers to widen their methodologies of research and teaching of Contemporary History by adopting interdisciplinary sources and tools belonging to Cultural and Intellectual history studies. 

Cr.E.I. is a pilot project involving new teaching and research opportunities for the University: the main expected results include the creation of new courses within the DIGSPES department, and beneficiaries’ empowerment thanks to a major awareness of European identity and its process of construction.
