Newsletter 5/2002
Editorial:
This is WORKLAB’s Newsletter No. 5. The year is 2002, the month of editing is October, not May as was promised rather optimistically. The delay is due to heavy workloads and low staffing at The Workers’ Museum in Copenhagen. We regret the inconvenience inflicted on our readers and hope that the authors, who were promised that their articles would be published, will accept our apology. The conference, Migration, Work and Identity, was our principal activity in 2001 and so the papers from the conference are the main feature of the Newsletter. The conference involved all participants of the Migration, Work and Identity group of WORKLAB members. In this Newsletter you will also find reports on the activi-
ties of the various projects which have taken place at the museums participating in the EU-funded project on migration.
The next cooperative project is on its way. An international exhibition on migration, “Crossing Borders”, is being produced in Austria, supervised by the Museum Arbeitswelt in Steyr. The exhibition is going on tour to the various partner museums in 2003-2004 and is subsequently available for any museum that would like to show it.
Last but not least, we refer to the final activity of the Migration, Work and Identity project – an international conference in Terrassa, near Barcelona, in October 2003.
