About us

Remembering the Past for a Common Future is an Erasmus+ project aiming to enhance the historical consciousness of our students. By understanding their local history in the light of the history of Europe, they will gain knowledge on how to learn from the past in order to act responsibly within the framework of our common European democratic values today. Learning about human rights abuses of the past, through methods that will promote critical thinking and first hand experiences, the students will enhance their modern democratic citizenship, become active citizens in the future of Europe and withstand similar forces that led to terrible human rights abuses in the past.

Participation in this project will :

• increase students' critical thinking skills, digital competency and media literacy
• foster cooperation and understanding between a diverse group Europeans
• strengthen networks both between the partners and between the individual students and teachers involved
• make students participate actively and fully in democratic life.
• increase the use of foreign languages in different settings.
• give students a better understanding of their local history, the European Union context, and the shared history between the members of the project.
• increase the students ability to withstand the forces that work against the above mentioned principles through manipulation, propaganda and disinformation.
• increase critical thinking, communication and cooperation skills

The learning activities will start locally and build outward, to the national and European, students will be able to better understand the connections between these dimensions. In examining human rights abuses and prevention of such abuses in their local history, students will experience a more personal connection to these topics. This examination of local history will be undertaken in similar ways by students in all partner schools, and the results of these research projects will be shared online using this blog.
