The project aimed to connect youth workers active in the field of historical and political education, who face the challenge to teach complex topics of multi-layered and entangled history. Through the connection of those youth workers and teachers from different countries who face similar changes in their complex histories, the participants were encouraged to exchange their perspectives and experiences in order to learn from each other and to broaden their horizons. In the three main activities in Poland, Germany and Bosnia-Herzegovina, the participants got acquainted with the local contexts and were encouraged to exchange on similarities and differences to challenges they face during their work. Through the exchange with other participants and experts and through the visit of local institutions dedicated on the complex histories of the places, the participants were able to learn how different people and institutions deal with these challenges. Next to these direct exchanges, the participants took part in seminars and workshops dedicated to various topics related to challenges in historical and political education such as workshops on combatting of hate speech, trauma therapy, or the use of arts and culture to understand traumatizing experiences. During the project, the participants developed ideas how to imply these methods in their own work. In that way, the project helped to empower educators and to increase their understanding for multi-layered European history and challenges other educators face. In the face of increasing nationalism, fake news and the use of history as an instrument of exclusion, the participants got acquainted with ways to use historical and political education as a powerful tool to teach democracy, tolerance and European values. During this creative exchange, the participants got familiar with multiple perspectives and were empowered to bring these experiences back to their own target groups in schools, museums, teaching institutions and youth work. They improved their skills and were able to share their own ideas with others. The exchange worked for them not only as way to get to know new people, methods and perspectives, and as a stage to present their own ideas and methods, but also as a starting point to improve their own journey on how to democratically and inclusively teach on complex and controversial historical topics, among them experiences of war, expulsion, refuge, or genocide.
