🏢 About the local organisation
The Remembrance Week in Austria is part of a wider list of activities within the frame of the European Project Chapter: Chellenging Propaganda Through Remembrance. The project gathers 25 representatives of organisations from 9 countries - Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Catalunya and Bulgaria. Since 2014 Europe is facing the worst humanitarian crisis of refugees since World War II (WWII), the majority of them fleeing from Syria and Libya, while the economic crisis has been causing cuts to social inclusion, education and healthcare programmes. An in-depth analysis shows that current propaganda roots in methodologies and tools developed under totalitarian regimes.
💼 What the programme involves
Participants, supported and guided by facilitators and Remembrance Messengers, will implement different reasearches and activities and aimed at going in depth into the following key words/topics of Propaganda and Nationalism in Europe in the past until today.
A Set of Infographics will be created on the basis of the researches participants will realize during the activity, focused on 10 specific topics: Fear; Propaganda; Gender; Freedom of speech; Nationalism; History; Normalization; Social Frustration; Hate crimes.
The project aims to cast a light on propaganda before and during WWII, focusing on its role to enforce the concept of “enemy“ - from national and ethnic groups to political opponents and social groups.
