The Remembrance Forum of Germany is now partnering with The European Institute Foundation (PIF) for the project called “Born in 1989. – Democracy Tales for Young Europeans,” co-funded by the European Commission.
This project focuses on the democratic transitions in the former communist bloc.
The project aims to engage young people, particularly those born after 1989, in understanding these historical events.
The project is coordinated by PIF and involves organizations from Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, Estonia, and Germany, each contributing expertise in various fields.

- Key Elements:
