Introduction
Images of Grandma’s from interviews
To contribute to the pop-up exhibitions we have created an easy to use Story Creator tool. The Story Creator enables you create and share the stories of migrant grandmas online and in pop-up exhibitions throughout Europe. In this module you will learn what information you need to gather from the grandmas and how to add this via the web to create their story.
