Call

European Remembrance – 2023

Summary

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.

Detailed Call Description

Across the different priorities, an overarching aim is to highlight the role, representation and perspective of women in these important historical events and developments to allow a more gender-balanced and gender-sensitive understanding of history.

 Projects are expected to:

  • Link different types of organisations to create synergies;
  • Training activities, publications, online tools, (provenance) research, non-formal education, public debates, exhibitions, awareness-rising, collection and digitisation of testimonies, innovative and creative actions, etc.);
  • Establish and conduct trainings for rights defenders, civil servants, members of the judiciary, law enforcement officials and policymakers;
  • Provide opportunities for inter-generational exchanges between witnesses and future generations;
  • Involve people from different target groups and gender, including, where possible, people facing racism, antisemitism, antigypsyism or other forms of discrimination and intolerance.

Projects can be national or transnational. Transnational projects are particularly encouraged.
