This is a space for young perspectives on current events, identity, history and its relevance for the present.
The EUSTORY History Campus gives voice to personal stories and perspectives on history and identity of young Europeans. It was initiated by Körber-Stiftung and the EUSTORY Network to show the interplay of history, society and current politics in order to achieve a sense of responsibility for a common Europe.
Critical thinking, creative approaches and the curiosity to develop new attitudes towards historical and social topics unite young people from more than 30 countries.
On the public blog young EUSTORY History Campus authors publish articles, opinion pieces and personal stories about topics related to history, society and identity.
During EUSTORY Summits, History Camps and online projects organised by Körber-Stiftung and EUSTORY, prize winners from EUSTORY history competitions meet and work together to use history as a laboratory for international understanding.
Editors' Group
The Editors receive coaching by journalists, set the agenda for the blog and support authors in the writing and editing process.

EUSTORY is an informal, international network of non-governmental organisations carrying out historical research competitions for youth in 25 European countries. It creates space for encounters and facilitates dialogue on shared European history and future in regular international youth seminars. Eventually it promotes the significance of history for a common European future through international conferences and workshops. EUSTORY was established in 2001 and since then more than 200,000 young Europeans participated in national EUSTORY history competitions. The EUSTORY prize winner activities and meetengs as well as EUSTORY Alumni projects set the basis for the EUSTORY History Campus. For more information see http://eustory.eu/about-us.html

How do we influence the way we perceive crises by the way we talk, read and write about them?
Katja Fausser from @koerberstiftung is going to discuss this question with two interesting guests: Ulrik Haagerup, renowned Danish journalist and founder of the @constructiveinstitute, argues for a more constructive way of dealing with bad news in journalism. German Historian Birte Förster discusses his concept of “constructive journalism” in the context of historical experiences and the way how catastrophes and crises of the recent past are reflected on by historians.

🇮🇪 On 21 November 1920 in Ireland, more than 30 people were killed in different events connected to the Irish War of Independence. Today, the day is known as “Bloody Sunday” and is considered one of the most violent events in the Irish War of Independence.
#EUSTORY #HistoryCampus blogger Neasa (@slipperdog00) discovered a close entanglement between her family history and the historic events back then. This led her to question long-held opinions and judgements.
Check out Neasa’s article on the #EUSTORY #HistoryCampus blog!

„I want to contribute to change in my home country” – this is what drives #EUSTORY alumna Elene (@e_meskhi ) from Georgia.
For the portrait of the #EUSTORY alumna Melina Heinze spoke to Elene about change and the various meanings it has for her:
🇬🇪 Change has been part of Georgian history, states Elene, but changes are evaluated differently and remembrance of the Soviet past is still divided.
🧪 But Elene also takes matters in her own hands in the present to bring about the change she wants to see in the realm of school education.
👥 And her own way of thinking changed when she participated in the #EUSTORYSummit 2019 where she got to know other Europeans in quite an intimate way.
Do you want to find out more about Elene, how she brings change to natural science education in Georgia, what exactly she experienced during the #EUSTORYSummit 2019 and how she sees the different approaches to history in Georgia? Then you can find the complete interview with Elene on the #EUSTORY website.

Bulgaria even threatened to veto the launch of 🇪🇺 EU accession talks with North Macedonia over concerns regarding history and identity: Both countries claim some historical figures as their own. Who does their shared history belong to?
Kristijan from North Macedonia and Liliana (@lrumenova) from Bulgaria talk about this dispute about history, identity and language between their countries.
