Through a six-day Czech-German meeting of 26 young people (aged 15-19) from the Czech Republic and Germany, we want to open up topics related to the impact of the recent past on our present. The aim of the project is to search for places of our common history and memory that influence the lives of several generations up to the present, and on this basis to become aware of the dangers that human rights and human dignity violations bring and that can result in armed conflicts, which we are witnessing in the contemporary world. At the same time, the project deals with the questions of what shapes our attitudes and values, what life experiences and how important are they for the young generation? What values and attitudes unite today's young generation? It is impossible to convey the authentic experience of the Holocaust and the Nazi persecution of political opponents of Nazism and communism. What can be passed on, the stories of people who deserve our respect and lasting memory. Is that enough in itself? Or do we have to look for other methods, paths, approaches? What to do and how to do it to achieve the practical fulfillment of the motto "Never Again"? Are there common features, principles, goals in European dictatorships, including Nazi and Communist? What were those goals? Two European partner organizations - Antikomplex from the Czech Republic and Europäische Jugendbildungs- und Jugendbegnungsstätte Weimar (EJBW), located in the centre of Weimar, not far from the former Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald already have experience from two Czech-German youth meetings, which they jointly organized in 2023 and 2024. The project is important in supporting the values of inclusion and diversity, tolerance and respect: this is given both by the topics we deal with, i.e. discrimination based on origin, and by the inclusive integration of participants from minorities who come from disadvantaged backgrounds and face unequal conditions in access to education. With these goals, we want to contribute to the idea of the Erasmus+ program - to strengthen European identity and active citizenship. At the same time, the transfer of experience is important to us: both among young people and between trainers and facilitators who lead the programs, and mutual cooperation that will continue after the end of the project. The joint Czech-German meeting will also address the experiences that German and Czech society have in coming to terms with this past and the culture of remembrance. The themes of totalitarian regimes in Europe – Nazi and Communist – are a legacy that we are still struggling with. There are many reasons to recall these themes, to discuss them with young people and to reflect on their causes, on the social phenomena to which they responded and on the phenomena that they brought with them. It is also very important to address the causes that allowed these undemocratic regimes to be accepted to such an extent. We consider the WWII and the devastation of values by Nazi and communist ideology, as it was implemented in Europe in the second half of the 20th century, as turning points in the history of Europe and we want to focus on describing the relations between the majority and minorities in modern history, on recognizing the problems and on trying to define the basic principles and phenomena of the development of totalitarian regimes in the 20th century. EJBW is a place that provides opportunities for discussing key socio-political issues, for mutual learning and gaining unique educational experiences. In the project, we will follow the standards of our organizations, which means orienting our educational work to the questions and needs of young people, enabling young people to learn independently with their hearts, hands and minds, supporting discussion, educating through experience, reflection, exchange of views with others and our own actions.
