How can the confrontation with history foster a better understanding of the present and shape the future of Europe and its neighbors? At EUSTORY Summits, international history festivals, as well as in multiple digital projects, winners of national history competitions use history as a laboratory for international understanding.
They reflect on their perspectives regarding historical and current political questions in an unrestricted environment and develop innovative formats for a multi-faceted culture of commemoration.
European youth encounters in numbers, since 2001
Our concept
Our learning goal
With our annual Youth Encounters, we offer prize winners and alumni from the more than 20 national history competitions the opportunity to deal with questions of history policy, remembrance and identity by using various creative approaches.
The programme
With the support of experts from science, art, journalism, culture and politics, around 120 participants aged between 16 and 25 experience a multi-day history festival with a colourful programme. In workshops and intercultural dialogue formats, they develop cross-border, innovative forms of a critical and multi-perspective approach to history.
