Together with youth and young adults from Dresden, Saxony, the Czech Republic and Poland, we will use artistic methods such as citizen journalism, MailArt or even role play. The first workshops will take place in 2022.
Another new feature is the close cooperation with the Bautzner Straße Memorial. As an established place of remembrance, they particularly contribute their expertise in working with contemporary witnesses and historical work. In addition, the project is characterised by diverse cooperations, among others with the European Solidarity Centre (Gdańsk, Poland) and Post Bellum (Prague, Czech Republic).
