Call of the Federal President to Participate in the German History Competition
German President Joachim Gauck calls for participation in the German EUSTORY History Competition: »God and the world – the title of the History Competition opens up a broad field. Yes, the world is large and conceptions of God are numerous. And yet the topic addresses the very core of that which currently concerns many people. It encounters a lively debate on the way religions treat each other, on their meaning and their impact on our coexistence. And anyone who wants to understand the present will always also have to look back, into the past.«
»God and the world. Religion makes history« is the topic of the 25th tender for offers of the German History Competition of the Federal President. From 1 September 2016 to 28 February 2017 all children and adolescents under the age of 21 in Germany are encouraged to go in search of historical clues. The free magazine »spurensuchen« (searching for traces) includes the official competition documents and other information about the new topic as well as tips for participation. The magazine can be ordered by sending an e-mail to gw@koerber-stiftung.de. The competition has been held jointly by Körber-Stiftung and the Federal President since 1973.
