On the 20 th of October, the online workshop “Remember the past – React for the future”took place as a part of our project “Remember Holocaust – Building Bridges for a common future” took place under the coordination of the project partner organisation JuBUk and the trainer Stefano Merzi.
The main aim of the workshop was to draw participants’ attention to the paradigm of Holocaust, how the Nazi-fascist crimes were rooted in that ideology, and how its debris still affects people towards stereotypes, prejudices and xenophobia. During the workshop, the participants explored forms of racist propaganda and its consequences,as in the case of the rise of far-right regimes. The participants also reflected on the practices that empower the values of dignity, freedom, diversity and inclusion: the common values of the Union’s member states as stated in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
With our trainer Stefano Merzi, the young participants, derived from more than 10 European countries, shared their experiences with the topic Holocaust and if and when we visited the remembrance sites. Together the team analyzed caricatures in an interesting and deep discussion and also exchanges perspectives on current politics and the political situation in the world.
