Remembrance Cinema and History Tours
The first activity is aimed at informing youth of the exploitations and manipulations of democratic practices of totalitarian regimes and the repressions on dissidents and the intellectual and artistic milieus during these regimes.
During the period 15 March – 14 July 2021 a total of 18 selected films, including discussions with academia and experts, were screened in Bulgaria, Romania, Germany, Lithuania, Poland and Czech Republic. Additionally, within these dates, six history tours were conducted across partner countries.
The educational activities will contribute to the understanding of the shared European past and stimulate reflections on contemporary civil liberties and an assessment of civil rights and their fragility. The discussions with experts and academia will help participants comprehend and interpret democratic concepts and their meaning for contemporary youth. The history tours will promote local cultural heritage as part of the common European memory and will serve as an authentic experience of the past.
