The event brings together partners and target groups for three days of intensive seminars, workshops and tours. Past experiences and current initiatives are analysed to explore how toponymy can give voice to alternative perspectives and promote an inclusive vision of urban history. The aim of the project is to carry out a transnational investigation that highlights the influence of colonial ideology in the urban environment, actively involving local communities and stimulating dialogue on the transformation of public spaces.
