Alumni, researchers and friends of the centre gathered to celebrate how far the community has come since the early days of the C\u00b2DH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was more than a reunion \u2013 it marked a new chapter, creating a meeting place for <strong>academic collaboration and human connection<\/strong>, where the past, present and future of the C\u00b2DH converged through shared experiences, curiosity and a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"looking-back-memories-that-connect\"\n    >\nLooking back: memories that connect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The afternoon began with the round table \u201c<strong>Looking Back: Our Alumni Memories<\/strong>\u201d, where former students shared personal stories about their experiences at the C\u00b2DH. From research breakthroughs to friendships formed during long hours in Belval\u2019s offices, their testimonies spoke of the importance of human connection in academic life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These memories were not just an enjoyable nostalgia trip \u2013 they illustrated how shared experiences shape a collective identity. For many, returning to Belval felt like coming home, a reminder that while their careers and lives have continued to evolve, the sense of belonging to a creative, open-minded community remains strong.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"thumbnail  wp-block-unilux-blocks-thumbnail-video-vimeo\">\n    <span class=\"thumbnail__container\">\n        <span class=\"thumbnail__body\">\n            <span class=\"icon-rounded p-24 shadow bg-theme\">\n                <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-solid icon--play icon--white\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-solid.svg#icon--play\"><\/use><\/svg>            <\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image w-full object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"C\u00b2DH Alumni Day 2025\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/30110128\/IMG_0808-16_9.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/30110128\/IMG_0808-16_9-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/30110128\/IMG_0808-16_9-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/30110128\/IMG_0808-16_9-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/30110128\/IMG_0808-16_9.jpg 1500w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>    <\/span>\n    \n<div class=\"modal fade vimeo-modal wp-block-unilux-blocks-thumbnail-video-vimeo\" id=\"modal-C4qUL\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n    <div class=\"modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-dialog-scrollable\">\n        <div class=\"modal-content\">\n            \n<div class=\"modal-header\">\n    <div class=\"modal-title\">\n        <h1 id=\"modal-filter-title\">Thumbnail Video<\/h1>\n    <\/div>\n    <button type=\"button\" class=\"modal__btn-close\" data-bs-dismiss=\"modal\">\n        <span class=\"modal__btn-close__name\">Close<\/span>\n    <\/button>\n<\/div>\n            \n<style>\n    .modal-body {\n        padding: 0 !important;\n        flex: auto;\n    }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"modal-body\">\n    <div class=\"vimeo-video\" data-video-url=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1131579554?h=14d3f82919\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"looking-ahead-shaping-sustainable-futures\"\n    >\nLooking ahead: shaping sustainable futures\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second session, \u201c<strong>Exploring Pathways: Turning Digital and Public History into Job Opportunities<\/strong>\u201d, invited alumni and employers to reflect on career trajectories in a rapidly changing landscape.
