EUSTORY

The EUSTORY history network promotes a multi-perspective approach to cultures of commemoration and fosters communication about crucial questions concerning the past and the present in Europe and neighbouring countries. EUSTORY connects non-governmental organisations conducting historical research competitions for young people from more than 20 countries in Europe and beyond.
With its activities, the EUSTORY network promotes an independent and critical approach to the past for a common European future. It also furthers a European perspective on local, regional and national history, shunning exclusion and promoting international understanding as well as historical-political education for young Europeans.
