Mapping Memories Summer School

Approaches to transnational commemoration / Apply now for our summer school in Tiflis, Georgia from 13 to 17 July 2016!

bpbIn this day and age, transnational cooperation and exchange constitute possibilities in commemorative work and also create the prerequisites for well-considered and future-oriented education strategies. The Mapping Memories event series thus continues to support transnational approaches and invites you to join the Summer School from 13 to 17 July 2016 in Tiflis, Georgia!

The Mapping Memories Summer School 2016, organised by the Federal Agency for Civic Education/bpb, invites practitioners involved in commemorative work to network, to undergo method-based advanced training and to engage in practise-! oriented discussions. The event will focus on memories and commemoration within the countries of the Eastern Partnership and beyond. It puts an emphasis on the topics flight, displacement and forced migration. In the field of commemorative culture, it is a matter of taking a closer look at the pitfalls, potential lack of clarity and nuances within one’s own work and of testing ways of simplifying transnational cooperation from multiple perspectives. This includes, for instance, a critical reflection of the terminology used in commemorative work and questioning what influence politics of memory have had on the commemorative debate and practical implementation of projects.

Due to its history and geographic location, the city of Tiflis was chosen to become the interactive area of experience and debate. Practical workshop modules are complemented by additional excursions and site visits, organised by local commemoration initiatives.

Who can apply?
Practitioners involved in commemorative work from different European countries. Applications from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and the Russian Federation are especially welcome.

You are:
• actively involved in the implementation or planning of commemoration projects with a focus or interest in transnational approaches. Your involvement can be either on a professional level or voluntary/ non-professional,
• especially encouraged to apply if your work focuses on memory culture in countries of the Eastern Partnership or/and the topics flight and forced displacement in historical contexts or may contribute to discussions on the topic,
• proficient in English (the summer school will be conducted in English)
• available for full attendance at the workshop, which will be held in Tiflis, Georgia, ! from 13 J uly (arrival) to 17 July (departure).

Survey on civil dialogue

Civil Society EuropeCivil Society Europe and its working group on Civil Society Recognition, which EUNET is a member of, has prepared a questionnaire on an assessment of civil dialogue mechanisms open for both European and national NGOs and associations.

The responses to the questionnaire as well as the results of interviews with NGOs and EU institutions will contribute to the preparation of a report on the State of the Union of civil dialogue in the EU to be issued in the autumn.

This survey aims at analysing Civil Society Organisations (NGOs, associations) interaction with the different European Union institutions and the possibility to share their expertise and influence decisions on EU policies and legislation.

The survey includes questions on the dialogue organised by the European Commission, European Parliament and the Council both in Brussels and at national level.

Please do not hesitate to share it with your members or with other civil society organisations you are in contact with, through your newsletter and social media.

The survey is open until the end of June at this link.

„enter:trust“
Summer exchange and empowerment experience for young Europeans from Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic
26 – 31 July 2016
Berlin, Germany

Europäische Akademie BerlinGiven the new and diverse challenges Europe is facing these days, it is important to maintain the dialogue between young Europeans from the neighboring countries Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.

Therefore, the European Academy Berlin, in cooperation with the Polish Robert Schuman Foundation, Warsaw and Kuro Hradec Králové, Culture and Volunteering, will bring together 24 young Europeans from the three countries within in the framework of the summer exchange and empowerment experience “enter:trust”, taking place from 26 – 31 July 2016 in Berlin.

“enter:trust” seeks to foster a culture of debate and constructive criticism, to raise understanding for each other’s opinions and to regain trust in European cooperation.

The program gives the participants the possibility to debate on German-Polish-Czech relations and current European challenges. The working language is English. For six days, the following issues will be discussed:

  • Drifting apart in Europe? Problems – perceptions – points of view
  • Europe – a part of me or apart from me? Hopes, fears and challenges of the young generation
  • Pluralism, Diversity, Integration in Europe – case study Berlin
  • Lügenpresse! – Freedom of speech and its limits

Although we are able to cover most of the costs (five nights in a double/triple room, incl. board and transportation costs within the program), we need to charge a small participation fee: 129 € for German participants and 99 € for Polish and Czech participants. A partial refund of travel costs is possible.

Please apply until 30th of June 2016.

You can find more information about the program, participation conditions and the registration/application form here.

In case of questions, please contact Maria Herwig (mh@eab-berlin.eu).
