The LRE Active Remembrance Youth Program

Active Remembrance isn’t your typical history lesson. It’s a thrilling, hands-on journey into the past, designed to get young people like you deeply engaged and excited about history. Forget the old-school ways of just reading about events—this is about living them.

You won’t just be learning about history; you’ll be stepping right into it, feeling the echoes of the past in a way that resonates with your present and shapes your future.

This program isn’t just about visiting historical sites; it’s about diving into immersive experiences that bring history to life. Picture yourself interviewing people with incredible stories, curating fascinating historical content, and working with a diverse group of young Europeans. You’ll be part of an international team, creating podcasts and videos that not only enhance your digital skills but also connect with a wide audience.

Through engaging activities, deep reflections, and vibrant discussions, you’ll see just how relevant and impactful history can be. Active Remembrance is more than just an exchange—it’s an empowering adventure that makes history relevant, and unforgettable.
