The iconic year of 2018 brings about many historic occasions to reflect the

history of war and peace in Europe: It has been, for example, 10 years since

the declaration of independence of Kosovo and the Georgian-Russian

armed conflict, 50 years since the Prague Spring and the students’

movements in Europe, 100 years since the end of World War I and 400

years since the beginning of the Thirty Years’ War.

From 14 to 19 November 2018, the Körber Foundation together with its

partners organises this year’s EUSTORY Next Generation Summit in Berlin

to focus on the processes of making, negotiating and maintaining peace

in Europe.

Join the EUSTORY Summit and dive into history together with 120 young

Europeans as well as experts from the field of academia, journalism,

education and arts. Share your perspectives on the past and experience

that history can not only divide us, but can also serve as a starting point

for international understanding.

The First World War ended 100 years ago. Yet, the Armistice of Compiègne, signed in November

1918, marked only the beginning of the following peace negotiations in Paris. The agreements

shaped the 20th century and the continent as a whole. Imagine you had been one of the

diplomats negotiating this peace: How would you have represented your countries’ national

interests to end the war?

Dive into the role of a diplomat of one European country and become part of a simulated Paris

Peace Conference. You will be assigned a country and learn about its interests and aims

concerning the conditions for peace. In the negotiations, you as a diplomat will defend “your”

country’s position on cession of territory, the setting of national borders, disarmament and war

guilt. Thus, you can not only deepen your historical knowledge on the topic but also have the

chance to write history anew: with the historical insights of what was about to come in the 20th

century, what would you as a diplomat have done differently? Find out and re-negotiate the Paris

The Art of RemembranceCoping with the Legacy of Perpetrators in History

#EUSTORYSummit18

With each passing day, we have less and less of a connection to what came before us. History

needs to be re-narrated consistently if we want to save it from oblivion. The legacy of perpetrators

in history is an issue that requires particular attention and responsibility from all of us. How can

we use creative expression as a means to reconnect with history?

In this workshop, we will make use of the methodology “New Forms of Remembrance”, a practice

using provocative, charged locations to inspire our work, find new creative ways of

commemoration in order to give the next generation a chance to understand history and their

place in it. We will visit the house of the Wannsee Conference, where on 20 January 1942, fifteen

high-ranking Nazi officials met to discuss their plan to deport and murder European Jews. We will

use this as a starting point to dive into questions of guilt and the legacies of perpetrators: Are only

those guilty who wield the guns? How responsible are the perpetrators of the pen? Where in your

country do these questions arise? Through a series of writing and performance exercises, we will

try to expose our emotions and express the complex nature of guilt, responsibility, war and peace,

A work of art disappears in times of war. Years later, dedicated researchers find out that

combatants of a former war party stole the artwork; it was sold several times since then and is now

exhibited in the country’s national art museum. Morally perhaps a clear-cut case, but legally

inconclusive: Whose art is it?

Twenty years ago, in 1998, more than 40 countries and many international non-governmental

organisations agreed on the “Washington Principles”, which form the moral and political bases for

restitutions in the case of Nazi confiscated art. Can this attempt to right historical wrongs ensure a

more peaceful and respectful present? You will explore the history of artworks in museums and of

their previous owners. Here, provenance research, which deals with the origins and “paths” of

artworks, is essential. In this workshop, you will acquire insights into the toolkit of a provenance

researcher. On an excursion, you will then step into actual provenance research at a museum of

the “Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation” in Berlin. In small groups, you will develop a media

Workshop Leader:Frank Reiniger

Participants:up to 15

Can a single person influence the course of history in times of international integration and

globalisation? Personal histories of civic activism in the 20th and 21st century show that the

individual still can make a difference. But they also raise the question to what extent it is justified

or even necessary to break the rules or a would-be peace to stand up for your values and beliefs?

Take the chance to engage in intensive cross-generational encounters with civic activists from

different European countries and historical contexts. You will be introduced to the methodology

of oral history and will have the opportunity to prepare and conduct professional interviews with

civic activists from various age groups. As individuals, they decided to challenge an existing

situation at some point. Which lessons can we learn from their different experiences of self-

assertion in European history? Where in your family, region or country can you find examples of

people who raised their voices to bring about change? And what is it you want to improve today?

All your experiences and debates will be collected and brought together in an immersive stage

production.

History is on every street corner: Monuments and memorial sites shape cities and public

remembrance all over Europe. They are closely connected with the experiences from the past and

are meant to keep certain memories alive. But are they truly ‘set in stone’ or does their meaning

change over time?

This bilingual English-Russian workshop focuses on the role and history of memorials in the

cultures of remembrance all over Europe. You will meet experts working with memorials from the

past and the present in Berlin: They focus also on those memorials which have been abandoned

and demolished at various points in the past. These discarded memorials are part of the exhibition

“Unveiled – Berlin and its Monuments” at the Zitadelle Berlin, which you are going to visit. By

exploring a memorial from this exhibition and one from your hometown or region, you will

discover the origin stories of these monuments, analyse their forms and designs, decode their

messages, place them in their historical contexts and critically discuss their relation to and

relevance for the present. Finally, together with the other participants from this workshop, you

Do you sometimes have the impression that history only happens in big politics and that the

experiences of people, families and regions are overlooked? In this workshop, you will become a

historical detective, put your ear to the ground to find the stories and histories of Europeans and

make their voices heard.

In this workshop you will get the chance to find out how historical events affected people from all

over Europe and are still influencing the young generation of today. You will receive professional

journalistic coaching in the journalistic skills of research techniques and in arranging and

presenting your findings in a text or an audio format. By conducting interviews with interesting

persons, you will gather information, learn about the relevant historical events and arrange them

in a journalistic piece. The young Editors’ Team of the History Campus will be a part of this

workshop, which will give you the opportunity to get “backstage” insights into the History

Campus blog. The texts and audio formats produced in this workshop can be published on the

History Campus blog.

Why should we look at a conflict from the 17th century to solve some of today’s conflicts? Are

there really parallels between the Thirty Years’ War and contemporary conflicts? Can we learn

from history and if so, which lessons can we draw and where are the limits?

In this workshop you will deal with the Peace of Westphalia, which in 1648 ended the Thirty Years’

War in central Europe. We will use it as a specific historical experience but also as an analytical tool

to understand and shed a new light on the roots of current conflicts and political rivalries. Can

historical research on “Westphalia” provide a creative approach to resolve or at least to gain a

better understanding of longstanding conflicts? Can you think of an event or conflict from your

own background or experience, which shows similar historical roots or striking historical parallels?

You will get the chance to meet experts and scholars who have been working on taking this new

path and reinvent the Peace of Westphalia. Explorative learning is an open and dynamic

methodology and the participants will have the chance to work with history off the beaten paths

In case thewithdrawal is announced at a later stage, theorganisers will try to find another participant.
