Monuments of remembrance 1918-2018
The project Monuments of Remembrance 1918-2018 is an international educational project, implemented in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania by five independent civil society organisations, which are working on a daily basis to promote knowledge about the past and to promote historical and civic education:
- Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe (Poland),
- Paweł Włodkowic Institute (Poland),
- Centrum pro dokumentaci totalitnich rezimu, z.s. (Czech Republic),
- Post Bellum SK (Slovakia),
- Fundatia Academia Civica (Romania).
Among participants of the project were school students, scientists, experts in the field of public history, historical and civic education and teachers from Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania.
As part of the project, the website www.monuments-remembrance.eu was created, which contains information on 300 selected monuments from the four countries mentioned above. Their descriptions have been specially prepared to highlight not only what the monuments depict, but how their significance has changed over the years.
