The program enables young people to enter into a critical examination of history. Transnational learning at historical sites of National Socialist persecution and extermination and also matters of European culture(s) of remembrance are at the center of the program. Funding is provided for memorial sites, educational institutions and NGOs in Germany, Europe and Israel.
The funding line [re]create digital history focuses on digital formats that open up sites of remembrance and learning relating to National Socialist persecution and extermination for international civic education on a sustainable basis. With digital tools and applications, the projects further develop historical places for a low-threshold and location-independent teaching of National Socialist history in international youth exchange in a complementary way.
The funding line [re]act finding memories focuses on bilateral and multilateral youth encounters for young people between 14 and 35 years of age, as well as professional exchanges for disseminators. We support projects that deal with National Socialist history in a multiperspective, transnational, and interdisciplinary way using contemporary methods as well as groundbreaking concepts.
The EVZ Foundation has set up the [re]shape places of memory funding line to specifically address memorial sites in Central Eastern and Southeast Europe and the Baltic region as authentic (learning) spaces of National Socialist history and places for encounters and understanding. With this funding, the Foundation aims to open up these areas more effectively for international youth education and enhance their transnational significance in the context of European cultures of remembrance.
