EUSTORY and Young Europeans
The EUSTORY history competitions encourage young people to look for
traces of history in their immediate environment. The students thus
examine and consider history from different perspectives and draw their
own conclusions. They liberate themselves from prejudices and develop
the ability to think critically. In that way they lay the foundations
for active participation in civic society.
The critical confrontation
with controversial aspects of European history is the basis of the
EUSTORY youth encounters, where prize winners from all national history
competitions meet. Working with peers, they learn to respect this
diversity and to see themselves through the eyes of others. This leads
to openness, understanding and tolerance in relation with others and
foreigners.
