Summary
The projects under this priority should explore and promote to all generations the defining moments and reference points of European integration, its history, and how these changes have in practice affected the daily lives of Europeans.
Within further analysis, this topic is under the European remembrance call, which aims to commemorate 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.
An overarching aim of this call, is to promote a more nuanced understanding of historic events by integrating a gender perspective when examining them. Looking through a gender-lens at history can highlight the role, representation and perspective of groups and individuals of all gender and promote a more holistic and gender-sensitive understanding of history.
European Remembrance is fundamentally linked to the realisation and protection of EU values and rights today.
Detailed Call Description
European integration has substantially transformed the life of Europeans. While it has provided new opportunities for cross border travel, study and work, it has also affected the identities of people who more and more feel European as part of their identity.
European integration has progressively advanced and protected the rights of people in all EU countries, rights that are often taken for granted now. However, apart from being an institutional process, European integration has been built and advanced by different people and movements at different moments. From the Ventotene manifesto to the Congress of Europe, the foundation for European integration has a long history.
Projects can focus on specific rights granted in the European Union such as freedom of movement, on specific achievements such as a common currency, or on defining moments such as accession of countries. Testimonies of witnesses could be a particular valuable resource for making the experience tangible and provide an intergenerational perspective.
Projects are expected to:
- Link different types of organisations to create synergies (between non-profit, local, regional and national administration, academia and memorial and learning site with educational institutions),
- Develop different types of activities (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.), also by using new methods of teaching and new technologies;
- 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, anti-gypsyism or other forms of discrimination and intolerance.
Projects can be national or transnational.
Transnational projects are particularly encouraged.
