The strand1. European remembrance projects within the Europe for Citizens’ 2021-2027 programme supports activities fostering a common culture of remembrance and mutual understanding between citizens from different EU Member States, notably by supporting projects that reflect on historical turning points and changes in regimes in Europe’s 20th century and on their continuous importance for the Europe of today.

regional and national administration, academia and memorial and learning site with

research, non-formal education, public debates, exhibitions etc.);

− Establish and conduct trainings for rights defenders, civil servants, members of the
