With three exhibitions in Poland, Czech Republic and Germany, the zusammen.HALT<\/a><\/strong> project has come to a worthy conclusion. After two and a half years of historical-political educational work with teenagers and young adults about our shared communist history, the project partners in Gda\u0144sk, Prague and Dresden have gained a lot of experience and results, which have now been presented to the public and prepared for future use. In the zusammen.HALT project, young people were able to meet contemporary witnesses, hear their stories and discover historical places. Some new methods were used, for example, workshops with role play, citizen journalism, mail-art and slam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The core of the exhibition consists of a number of around 15 roll-ups on which the most important results can be seen. These roll-ups are available in three country versions with largely the same content: 1x for Germany, 1x for Poland, 1x for the Czech Republic. The texts on each version are written in their mother tongue and in English. These roll-ups can be borrowed from schools and other institutions after the end of the project and used for your own educational work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentation followed in Prague on 14th<\/sup> December 2023 in the auditorium of the \u201cGymn\u00e1zium Pam\u011bti n\u00e1roda\u201d run by our partner organization Post Bellum<\/a>. The head of the school, Ms. Tereza Meinczingerov\u00e1, welcomed the students as well as the guests from Germany and Poland. The film team from the European Solidarity Centre in Gda\u0144sk presented the film about the youth exchange in June 2023. The students from Prague, who also took part in this action, reported to their classmates about the experiences and impressions they had gained during youth exchange. The highlight was the story by contemporary witness Heidi Bohley, which represents a very personal example of lived German-Czech togetherness and which greatly impressed those who were present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even after the end of the project, the fundamental questions remain relevant: Cohesion (in German: Zusammenhalt) – Where does the boundary of what we have in common begin? Where is the freedom of others restricted? And how can cohesion succeed today without shaking its foundations, such as plurality and individual freedom? These questions and the answers found during the project will continue to accompany our work in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
