Event series on „European Culture(s) of Remembrance”: 21.-27.03.2025 | Weimar & Berlin (Germany)
We are offering youth workers, (civic) educators, teachers, trainers, staff of museums & remembrance places, researchers, representatives of civil society organisations etc. with interest and strong background in historic-civic (youth) education from Erasmus+ programme countries the opportunity to join the following event:
„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.

Costs
Participation fee
Participation fee
We are aware about the difficult financial situation of many people active in the field. Nevertheless, we see the offered event as a unique opportunity for personal learning, professional development & networking which should be, beyond the received funding by European taxpayers not “for free”. Further, as a place of civic education, focusing as well on topics as (global) social (in)justice, we decided to disrupt the vicious system of underpayment of people active in the field of youth work & (civic) education, dedicating their lifetime & energy by offering fair payment for their work, e.g. as free-lanced trainers, seminar leaders or support staff, organising such events. Therefore, a financial contribution from each participant is required upon individual situation & decision:
- You are e.g. student, unemployed person or a volunteer without own income (reduced fee): 50,00 EUR
- You are e.g. freelanced youth worker / trainer / educator with own income (standard fee): 100,00 EUR
- You are e.g. a person in stable job/employment (solidarity fee): 150,00 EUR
In case you are not able to afford the fee, please contact us for individual solutions.
