During "My History – Your History" participants look for answers to these and many other questions.
History and its influence on contemporary times are presented in different ways in German and Polish manuals, media and pop-culture. Things of great importance for the one side are hardly known to the other. What you find in history books and media about the history of your neighbouring countries gives only an incomplete picture of its past and presence.
During "My History – Your History" high school students discuss different perspectives and analyze stereotypical pictures connected to the neighbouring country. They investigate history not only from their national perspectives but put it in a European and global context. Apart from the historical part, the project offers space for integration, intercultural exchange and personal communication.
