überLEBENSWEGE – Spurensuche und digitale Erinnerungswerkstätten [Local Searches for Traces and Digital Workshops on Remembrance]

8 historical sites in two federal states
For the first time, eight selected historical sites in the German Federal States of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg are being related to each other on a cross-state basis. First, they are linked to groups of victims of persecution - Sinti and Roma, victims of forced education and "euthanasia" murders, and forced laborers. Second, in terms of forced labor, military history, and the armaments industry, the historical sites possess nationwide relevance. And finally, due to the biographical paths of persecution, the sites are also of great importance for an inclusive European history of remembrance.

"Film shelves", #digital history labs & mixed-reality formats
überLEBENSWEGE researches the processes of legal, social and political ways of dealing with the sites and people and medially elaborates them with different target groups. Professionally created film fragments ("film shelves") assume various functions (e.g. for location tours, sampling, scrollytelling). #digital history labs and mixed-reality formats for young people as well as for adult target groups are tested and evaluated. The evaluation seeks a self-critical examination of decontextualizations and manipulations of historical and audiovisual sources. Participants will also be able to "watch the project team think" (e.g. via Instagram).

1 tandem = 1 model project for nationwide transfer
A concept for digital workspaces with methods of assemblage and with mixed-reality formats can be developed as a model project for a nationwide transfer to other (rural) regions thanks to the composition of the tandem partners and their expertise.

Education Agenda NS-Injustice

The Magazine of the Education Agenda NS-InjusticeThe Magazine of the Education Agenda NS-Injustice

The Education Agenda NS-Injustice started in autumn 2021 with two certainties: Firstly, the survivors are passing away; there are few chances today to meet eyewitnesses who can tell us first-hand about the atrocities committed by the National Socialists. Secondly, we are increasingly entering contexts in which boundaries between fiction and fact are blurred. Under these conditions, we are dependent on new ways of learning and innovative forms of conveyance in our critical examination of National Socialist injustice and in historical-political educational work. In the magazine we present the funding program, projects and current debates.
