Research Projects
Romania’s Child Ambassadors: International Youth Camps, Cultural Diplomacy and Transnational Connections in the Global Cold War (1960s-1980s)
The project explores international children’s camps as forms of cultural diplomacy in the global Cold War from the “pericentric” perspective of the Romanian Pioneer Organization. Examining interrelated East-East and East-West youth exchanges in the Soviet bloc and Western Europe, it will produce the first archive-based study of the Romanian Pioneers’ international agenda and contribute to debates in the history of childhood and youth, internationalism, cultural diplomacy and the Cold War.
