Cultures of Remembrance in Europe
Following the tradition of the Peace treaty of 1648 in Muenster and of the Latvian Gymnasium Muenster, common remembrance can become an model to learn tolerance and to communicate one’s own cultural identity within the European civil society.
The conference papers demonstrate, how this approach can be practiced in different contexts:
– Shoa:
– Exile
– Diaspora
– Postwar-Traumata
They underline the value of different methodical approaches:
– archival research
– media – analysis
– intergenerational learning
– intercultural dialogue
Contents and methods of “cultivating remembrance” invite people to share experiences from the past to prepare an other common future.
