This strand supports activities inviting reflection on European cultural diversity and on common values. It aims to finance projects reflecting on causes of totalitarian regimes in Europe’s modern history.
It also concerns other defining moments and reference points in recent European history. Preference will be given to projects encouraging tolerance, mutual understanding, intercultural dialogue and reconciliation.
Projects under this strand should:
- Include different types of organisations (local authorities, NGOs, research institutes etc.)
- Develop different types of activities (research, exhibitions, public debates, non-formal education etc.)
- Involve citizens from different target groups
- Be implemented on a transnational level, or with a clear European dimension
For the Strand 1, “European remembrance”, specific priorities are set each year.
The priorities of the programme for 2018 are:
- 1918 The end of the WWI – the rise of nation states and the failure to create a European cooperation and peaceful coexistence
- 1938/1939 Beginning of WWII
- 1948 Beginning of the Cold War
- 1948 The Hague Congress and the integration of Europe
- 1968 Protest and civil rights movements, invasion to Czechoslovakia, student protests and anti-Semitic campaign in Poland
