ABSTRACT
In a University Course entitled The use of Biographical Approach we lived
experience and feelings that we wish to communicate and share with other
students and professors.
Using personal life documents we construct our family-tree through our familyhistory. As an end, we collect information about places of birth and residence,
important dates, main occupation, moral and religious beliefs, political
ideologies, financial statuses, family development, significant crisis and
transitions. We search our roots in depth, helped by oral accounts of our parents,
grandparents and great grandparents.
We learn new and unexpected information for many unknown aspects of our
family-history. We understand that the stories of our individual lives are
interconnected with broader stories. All those small pieces of stories, in turn, are
related to the great historical events of the 20th century. We hear for the forced
population exchange between Greece and Turkey after the First World War, the
German occupation of Greece during the Second World War, the Greek Civil
War and the refugees of those times, the liberation of Berlin by the Soviet Red
Army at the end of the Second World War. Furthermore, we hear stories about
the everyday worries of people. We finally realize that our stories are parts of
other stories like the Russian doll, Babushka.
Keywords: identities, educational auto/biography, life-story, critical
reflection
