local.history

Description

1) Objective

With the local.history funding program, the EVZ Foundation supports locally and regionally active history initiatives from Central and Eastern Europe. Funding is provided for projects aimed at addressing and remembering the period of National Socialism and World War II. The projects deal with places, persons and events of National Socialist history thematically.

Local history approaches convey historical contexts directly and connect general historical narratives with particular local events. The focus on local and regional references to history makes it possible to spotlight concrete places, biographies and relevant events, thus enabling a more direct understanding and yielding educational work. In light of these considerations, the EVZ Foundation supports locally and regionally active history initiatives from Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Po- land, Slovakia and Ukraine that commemorate, edu- cate and deal with local history and currently relevant issues.
