This project explores the historical movement for the abolition of the death penalty in Portugal and Spain, emphasizing its relevance to European values of human rights and dignity. Through the biographies of key abolitionist figures, we aim to engage European citizens - particularly young people - in reflecting on the historical and contemporary significance of this issue.
The main activities include a exhibition and an international conference, which will foster dialogue on justice, human rights, and the role of European cooperation in advancing these values. The partnership ensures a transnational and multidisciplinary approach, connecting 3 different European Heritage Label (EHL) sites and fostering collaboration. The project directly contributes to strengthening a sense of European belonging. It demonstrates how historical movements, rooted in specific national contexts, have played a role in shaping the fundamental values of the European Union today.
