The Active Remembrance Youth Program is an EU-funded initiative designed to engage and inspire young Europeans from diverse backgrounds to explore and commemorate World War II along the Liberation Route Europe. This program provides an interactive experience that goes beyond traditional classroom learning, actively involving participants in history.
Through a series of youth exchanges, participants will visit significant WWII sites across Europe, allowing them to engage with history firsthand. These visits include museums, memorials, and historical landmarks, offering a tangible connection to the past. Participants will travel across multiple European countries, engaging with diverse cultures and historical perspectives. These trips foster cross-cultural understanding and collaboration among young people from different backgrounds.
Furthermore, throughout the program, young people will engage in interactive workshops, they will conduct interviews, curate historical content, and create podcasts and videos. These projects will contribute to an online exhibition, showcasing the participants’ work and reaching a wide audience. This hands-on approach not only enhances digital literacy but also empowers young Europeans to tell the stories of their families and countries from new perspectives.
The upcoming trips, planned for October 2024 and January 2025, include explorations of the Battle of the Scheldt, spanning Belgium and the Netherlands, and the Battle of the Bulge. These trips offer participants a unique opportunity to learn about these significant battles right where they happened, providing an in-depth understanding of their historical impact.
The program is open to EU citizens aged 18-25.
