European Culture(s) of Remembrance” (I), 21.-27.03.2025 | Weimar & Berlin (Germany)

In 2018 the project “Venues of Victims // Venues of Perpetrators. Mapping, Decoding & Processing the Role of Historical civic education in (European) Youth Work” had been successfully implemented by EJBW and its international partners from 12 European countries. Based on the experience of the first edition, the second project edition, implemented in the period 2021-2023, had focused on dictatorial orders in Europe after 1945 as a topic of historic civic education.

Based on these experiences EJBW and its partners are going to implement six related international activities in the period 2025-2027. The activities will take place in the form of advanced seminars for multipliers in the field of history and/or civic (youth) education. The program is going to provide space to the experts from different fields of public history, bringing the representatives of museums, memorials and public institutions, history teachers, academics and lecturers related to the field of historic civic education into dialogue with youth workers, (civic) educators, trainers & representatives of civil society organisations active the field of non-formal education.

The event 21.-27.03.2025 in Weimar & Berlin (Germany) will seek to interrelate four central aspects: firstly, each event will focus the question how major historical events in the visited countries are represented in the local/regional/national culture of remembrance. Secondly, each event will question in how far past or contemporary local/regional/national culture(s) of remembrance shape the political and social dynamics in the visited countries. Thirdly, each event will bring insights into the local practices of historic civic education. Fourthly, space for exchange, networking & collaboration among participants about related questions & topics will be provided.
