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

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

The war in Ukraine has myriads of devastating impacts. Last but not least, it also affects the work of the cooperation project initiated by DVV International and @koerberstiftung in 2017.
Since then, together with 11 local partner organisations the coalition organises history competition projects in Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and recently also in Armenia, funded by @auswaertigesamt.
Check out the newly launched website which highlights all project activities at one glance. Stay tuned for the current project developments!

Getting involved for refugees: In these days, voluntary engagement proofs its relevance and its power once again.
🤝 For Barbare (@barbare_janjalashvili) from Georgia, volunteering with the European Solidarity Corps (@eusolidaritycorps ) was an eye-opener. She realised: Voluntary engagement for those who had to escape from their home country due to war and persecution is a responsibility which the privileged should meet.
🔎 Working with refugee children in Gaziantep at the Turkish-Syrian border, Barbare witnessed how “Little Amal” started her 8,000km journey. Representing a Syrian refugee child, the giant puppet was an art project to shed light on the suffering of millions of young refugees.
❗ Let’s not look away, let’s act: Every small-scale voluntary action can have a crucial impact!

🔉❗ Memorial International Appeals Against Liquidation.
After the court decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation to close MEMORIAL International on 28 Dec, the organisation’s lawyers have now appealed against the court’s decision.
@koerberstiftung, EUSTORY and many other partners from Russia and European countries remain in close contact with MEMORIAL International.
Their work on history education and research is essential for the present and future – and thus requires our support and attention.
Please keep an eye on the court proceedings via MEMORIAL’s Instagram @topos.memo.ru and share this information!

Today, we commemorate all victims of the Nazi regime.
Let’s build a digital memorial to the victims today! Join the challenge #everynamecounts by @arolsenarchives and shape future remembrance now.
Together, we can investigate the victims’ stories. Like the one of Stefania Łącka. As a journalist at a Catholic newspaper supporting the Polish resistance movement against the Germans, she had been arrested in 1941. The moving story of how she survived the camp is one of the @silentstories1945 which were told since then – but many still remain invisible.
❗️ Let's never stop remembering the painful past and take its lessons into the future!
On 27 January 1945, the extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated. Between 1940 and 1945, 1.1 million people were murdered there.

✨ Spotlights on!
A suitcase containing personal letters and a theatre stage formed the components of a unique experience: During a workshop in Kiev, a group of Ukrainian teachers tried out a new method to convey historical knowledge...
🎭 Having collected personal experiences of the Soviet past, written down in letters by time-witnesses beforehand, the workshop offered a space for the teachers to immerse themselves in different stories and perspectives. Reading out the letters on stage triggered overwhelming emotions – and led to a new understanding of history teaching. The feeling of being transported back to the Soviet era convinced the teachers: This method can bring history lessons to live!
🔎 The workshop, organised by the NGO “NOVA DOBA” and DVV International Ukraine, aimed at preparing the teachers to support their students’ research and participation in this year’s Ukrainian EUSTORY History Competition under the topic "Soviet Past: Rethinking History".
🍀 We wish all teachers and students curiosity, power and success with their research!
Curious about immersive theatre? Find out more on eustory.org!
