Reimagining European Remembrance: Art as a Tool for an Inclusive Remembrance Culture

ReIMAGINE is an Erasmus+ project launched by EDUCULT – Institute of Cultural Policy and Cultural Management (Austria) with Visual Voices (Cyprus), RightChallenge – Associação (Portugal), IoDeposito (Italy), and the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture (Serbia). Together, we aim to explore and rethink how Europe remembers its past, contributing to the reimagining of pluralistic European Remembrance.

This project highlights art as a tool to promote an inclusive remembrance culture. ReIMAGINE explores how artistic practices can challenge dominant narratives of memory, creating spaces for reflection, dialogue and participation. Art is approached as a powerful medium for storytelling and critical engagement, capable of making complex historical experiences accessible. We aim to foster an inclusive and democratic understanding of 20th-century history, its interconnectedness, and its impact on European identity. By embracing pluralistic narratives, the project strengthens civic education and promotes historical awareness as a foundation for democracy.

Over the course of 26 months, ReIMAGINE brings together research, arts education, and civic education for:

A participatory needs assessment report on inclusive remembrance culture in arts and education, collecting qualitative insights from educators, artists and community members in the field. These assessments, conducted across all partner countries, will form the foundation for the following project activities to ensure that identified needs will be addressed.

A Digital Platform for Collective Memory will be developed, showcasing pluralistic remembrance practices through the arts from all 5 partner countries.

A dynamic and interactive Training Toolkit on inclusive remembrance for educators and artists will be created, evaluated and integrated into the Platform. It will offer practical methodologies to integrate art-based remembrance into civic and adult education.

A transnational Learning, Teaching and Training Activity (LTTA) for adult educators, followed by national pilot trainings in each partner country.

National multiplier events and a European Conference in Vienna in 2027.

Project activities will take place in Austria, Cyprus, Italy, Portugal and Serbia, combining local engagement with transnational exchange.

We invite educators, artists, cultural practitioners, policymakers, and members of the public to engage with the projects’ activities and outputs as they unfold. For updates, inquiries, and project resources, sign up for our newsletter and stay updated via our social media channels.
