Funding through CERV programme aims at protecting rights and values enshrined in the EU treaties in order to sustain open, democratic and inclusive societies.

This call for proposals will support projects aimed at commemorating defining events in modern European history, including the causes and consequences of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, and at raising awareness among European citizens, of their common history, culture, cultural heritage and values, thereby enhancing their understanding of the Union, its origins, purpose, diversity and achievements and of the importance of mutual understanding and tolerance. Projects must address one or several of the following policy priorities:

• Democratic transition, (re-)building and strengthening society based on the rule of law, democracy and fundamental rights;
• Strengthening the remembrance of the Holocaust, genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity to reinforce democracy in the EU;
• Migration, de-colonisation and multicultural European societies;
• European integration and its defining achievements.
