00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.440
Education in cultural spaces

2
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:14.160
The German culture of remembrance has been
criticized by some as being ritualized and rigid.

3
00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:21.800
Do we need new forms of living memory of
National Socialist injustice and the Holocaust?

4
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:30.760
open up creative, emotional and empathetic
educational approaches to the history of National Socialism

5
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:36.200
The 'Education in cultural spaces' cluster of the
Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future (EVZ),

6
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.720
funds projects that activate young people

7
00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:41.000
to act democratically in the present

8
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.720
in a way that is historically aware and sensitive to continuities.

9
00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:46.880
I dreamed that everything is possible.

10
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.120
Our target groups often no longer have

11
00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:51.760
any family biographical connections to National Socialist history.

12
00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:56.440
In projects such as "Fragile Verbindungen" (Fragile Connections)
by the Junges Schauspiel Frankfurt,

13
00:00:56.440 --> 00:01:01.000
inclusive and diverse youth ensembles use performative means

14
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.760
to bridge the gap between the stories of National Socialist persecution and the present.

15
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.760
to bring various groups of victims and persecuted groups
into public consciousness

16
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:13.240
In the performance "stolpern" (stumbling),
young people from Berlin and Cottbus

17
00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:17.600
deal with a present in which right-wing
nationalist parties are gaining ground.

18
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:19.240
They wonder:

19
00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:21.320
how to deal with the knowledge of the persecution

20
00:01:21.320 --> 00:01:25.160
and murder of various groups
that remain marginalized until today.

21
00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:27.520
How do we get this knowledge?

22
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.040
How can we stand firm against
antisemitism, racism and discrimination?

23
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:39.560
raise awareness of the continuities of National Socialism
in the form of today's prejudices, discrimination and hatred

24
00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:44.200
"ON THE OTHER SIDE" by Theater of the Young World Leipzig

25
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.960
is an interactive format between theater and simulation game

26
00:01:47.960 --> 00:01:51.200
that transports the audience into the world of likes and follows,

27
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.760
troll attacks and bot armies

28
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.120
and explores why social networks often

29
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.040
promote disinformation, conspiracy ideology and discrimination.

30
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.200
These projects exemplify

31
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.960
how knowledge of history and
a culture of remembrance can be conveyed

32
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.360
through cultural spaces, theater,

33
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.160
musicals, and innovative exhibitions.

34
00:02:15.160 --> 00:02:17.120
