The Slow Memory Podcast is among the most important deliverables of this COST Action. It is an ongoing project that seeks to bring together the different voices, projects, positions and methodologies we use and explore in relation to the concept of Slow Memory. It will enable us to reach audiences beyond the academic field. As a collaborative undertaking, the Podcast will be produced by Action members and stakeholders in tandem. Future episodes will feature insights in to the research of our various Working Groups, highlighting how Slow Memory can be put into action in work, conflict, politics, the environment, welfare and beyond.
