The overall aim was to provide a framework for intercultural exchange among young people from different European countries and backgrounds. In this exchange we see great potential for the personal development of young people but also for cross-border friendships which are good for European cohesion. This framework should therefore focus on creating a situation that invites young people to come out of their comfort zone. In order to stimulate exchange and cooperation, we wanted to deal with a topic that is new to the participants and yet recognised as relevant. The Holocaust as a topic should thereby establish a concrete connection to the place of the encounter and enable a contemporary approach to history. We considered the creation of the virtual tour as well as the use of non-formal methods and, last but not least, the fact that we as an organisational team, consisting of very young people ourselves, could meet the young people at eye level, to be a contemporary approach. The creation of a virtual tour on a historical topic was meant to present an antithesis to the often ambivalent use of modern media. While virtual reality, but also the use of social networks and mobile devices in general, are often viewed critically by older generations, but also increasingly by our generation, and rightly so, we wanted to make a contribution that shows young people, but also adults, meaningful areas of application where they can produce an obvious social added value. Another objective, which also resulted from the composition of the organising team, was that we wanted to encourage young people to also get involved in society.
