Current events, such as the strengthening of nationalism in many countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), should be taken as an opportunity to deal intensively with the historical narratives of the participants' countries of origin since the exchange about cultures of memory leads to greater understanding and tolerance. The various activities planned should encourage the participants to reflect on different narratives. The way history is taught, which is very much based on the perspective of nation states, has, however, hardly changed in many countries, especially in CEE, after 1989. During the training sessions, we worked out methods together with the participants to put the so-called "grand narratives" to the test, to enable a comparison with the biographies of the young people and at the same time to individual access to history. For Europe's societies to become more inclusive we need new methods of teaching history to include people from diverse backgrounds. The current events in and around Europe provided an opportunity to learn about experiences, interpretations and the possibility of shared European memories. The most important goal of the project was to initiate an intercultural dialogue based on a deeper understanding of the perceptions of the different cultures. At the same time, both training formats encouraged people to think about their own identity in a context of migration and diversity as well as understanding and tolerance for living together with people from different national, ethnic and religious backgrounds.
