Strand 1: European RemembranceThis strand concerns defining moments and reference points in recent European history. Projects should encourage tolerance, mutual understanding, intercultural dialogue and reconciliation.
Projects will be implemented across a number of EU member states, or have a very clear European dimension. They should involve different types of:
Organisations (local authorities, NGOs, research orgs)
Activities (research, exhibitions, public debates, non-formal edu.)
Strand 2: Town Twinning and Networks of Towns
These projects are also funded under the Democratic Engagement and Civic Participation Strand of Europe for Citizens.This strand supports:
Town Twinning – projects bringing together citizens from twinned towns. Citizens can debate concrete issues from the European political agenda, promoting civic participation in the EU policy making process. Town twinning projects develop opportunities for societal engagement and volunteering at EU level.
Networks of Towns – municipalities/local authorities and associations work together on a common theme for a longer period of time. Larger than Town Twinning, these projects develop a networks of European towns where learning is shared and sustainability achieved.
