"<< Background >>The civil war in Spain was seen as a European war against fascism and foreshadowed IIWW. What lessons can we learn from the Spanish Civil War and IIWW in relation to standing up to fascism particularly in view of the attacks on democracy and human rights that we are witnessing today? Fascism is on the rise again, in Europe and around the world. Halting this wave is fundamental, as history shows clearly where it ends. The very promise of the European Union, created from the ashes that resulted from the first attempt of fascism, is enshrined in Article 2 of the Treaty of Fundamental Rights: ""human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality […], in a society in which pluralism, nondiscrimination, tolerance, justice, solidarity and equality between women and men prevail"".<< Objectives >>The objective of this project is to develop training tools that use stories of activists who stood up against fascism in a time of war and through these stories explore what happens when free speech and democratic practices are denied. The project brings students together to debate on contemporary democratic achievements in Europe and how European solidarity plays a key role in promoting civil society, free media and open debate which are indispensable elements of democracy and peace. The focus of the training will be for university students who are at most risk of engaging with the current propaganda which is being distributed by the right across Europe through social and digital media.<< Implementation >>European partners from Spain, Poland, Ireland and Cyprus and Greece come together to develop an on-line digital resource which will include an innovative training approach to highlight important learnings from cultural heritage remembrance. A networking platform, a digital book including stories from the partners countries, and an online storytelling training module.<< Results >>The project wants to take advantage of the rise of extreme right-wing policies that are re-emerging in Europe and around the world to create and improve a broad cooperation, but with a clear objective of promoting awareness and historical education about the lessons left to us by the Spanish Civil War and the IIWW.Remembrance wants to take full advantage of all the investments made in recent years by EU countries to help young people to have a critical reasoning with fascist ideologies or anyideology that violates human rights. Through a new learning method based on the experiences of activists who fought against fascism, the project aims to raise awareness among young people so that history does not repeat itself."
