Funding

Geschichtswerkstatt Europa funds international projects in which students, graduates, young academics, journalists and other members of civil society between the ages of 18 and 35 work together from January until October 2012 to examine War, Post War, Cold War – Remembrances of World War II and the new beginning of the post-war years (1945–1960). A mentor of the project team’s choice will accompany and assist their work with both content and method.

The projects will be planned and carried out by the applicants in collaboration with (a) partner(s) from a Central or East European country or from Israel. The aim is transcultural contemplation about European cultures of remembrance. Presentation and discussion of the project should target a wider audience. It is expected that the project will result in a joint contribution to the Geschichtswerkstatt Europa internet platform in the form of text, photos or video.

Projects can be financed in one of two ways: institutions planning a common project with more than 3 participants are eligible for grants for travel, accommodation, materials and communication up to a maximum of 15,000 Euros. International teams of 2 or 3 participants with no attachment to an institution can claim a maximum of 2,500 Euros per person to carry out the entire project.
