Short description

Normality and Crisis: Memories of Everyday Life in Syria as a Chance for a New Start in Germany was a joint research project based at ZMO with civil society partners from Berlin and Brandenburg. It investigated experiences and memories of everyday life in Syria before 2011 and the ways in which they live on after Syrians came to Germany. The project was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research(BMBF) for a period of three and a half years (February 2018 - January 2021).
