Short description: The aim of the event was to analyse the key words 'Genocide and Concentration Camps' and 'Human Rights and Discrimination' in their meaning both in past and contemporary society. The participants in Krakow explained the participants in Siena what it means to live with the constant (almost 'physical') remembrance of genocide in Poland, where 6 concentration camps were located during the Nazi period. The participants in Siena gave their contribution to the debate on human rights issues related to the migration flows in Italy. Remembrance met the present, helping to avoid the same tragic mistakes. The presence of non European citizens from countries affected by migrations gave an added value to the debate. The participants' interest in the project topics was stimulated, raising their awareness of remembrance, common history and values of the EU and the EU’s aim to promote peace and the well-being of its people.

The number of participants was lower than in the previous webinars but it favoured the dialogue between the two groups. In particular, the strong link between 'genocide' and 'resistance' was presented as two sides of the same coin. Both groups of participants helped each other to compare the two totalitarian regimes, the Nazi and the Communist. The participants' interest in the project topics was stimulated, raising their awareness of remembrance, common history and values of the EU and the EU’s aim to promote peace and the well-being of its people.

Short description: The aim of the event (meeting) was to promote Medicine students' reflection and debate on the key word 'Human Rights'. In particular, they were invited to reflect and exchange their views on the challenges a multicultural Europe may pose to their profession. The starting point of the reflection was the Preamble and art 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). All participants agreed that being treated is a fundamental right and should be ensured for all without any kind of discrimination (gender, faith, provenance, wealth). From the debate it emerged that the personal commitment of each physician is not enough if European health systems don't recognise health care on the basis of equality, quality and social responsibility.

Addressing young people, the round table aimed to raise awareness about their responsibility in the present, not to repeat the mistakes of the recent past. The participants showed a frail knowledge about the transition from the monarchy to the Communist regime after WWII. So they were presented with some examples of how a free press reports political, economic and social events. In the end the participants understood how ostracism gathers all the key words, because it violates human rights (thus, it discriminates till the point of no return of genocide and concentration camps), undermines identity and lead to resistance.

Event 09 – Suppressed books. Culture's freedom ostracisation – Activity 2

Participation: The event involved 14 citizens, including 14 participants from the city of Sibiu (Romania).

Each screening, open to the public and free of charge, had the same structure: a) an introduction; b) the film; c) the debate. After the show the participants reflected on how totalitarianism can be represented by one or few people, but the way of suppressing human rights is the same.

Location / Dates: The event took place in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) at Club Spui25 and at Duitsland Instituut Amsterdam premisis from 14/03/2019 to 15/03/2019.

Short description: The aim of the event (workshop) was to discuss the potentials and pitfalls of studying bystanders as an historical figure in the genocidal configuration. 'Genocide and concentratrion camps' was the key word on the floor. Academics, students and ordinary citizens had the chance to reflect on the difficulty in defining the figure of the bystanders in the Holocaust. All participants agreed that studying the bystanders during the Holocaust is almost impossible to remain neutral about the moral impact of inaction. After the debate, the participants visited the exhibition 'The Persecution of the Jews in Photographs: The Netherlands, 1940-1945”, at the National Holocaust Museum.

1)  in Maastricht (The Netherlands) at Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the University of

Maastricht on 26/03/2019 and at Bureau Europa premises on 27/03/2019,

2)  in Sibiu (Romania) at the Café Wien on 28/03/2019

4)  in Siena (Italy) at the Dept. of Political and International Sciences of the University of Siena from 28/03/2018 to 30/03/2019.

Short description: The aim of the event was two fold: 1) to give the Partnership the opportunity to connect the dots of the project, by evaluating the activities and compare the results in each Partner country; 2) to give a large number of stakeholders and ordinary citizens the opportunity to attend two installation arts and two debates, encompassing all the topics E-WORDS addressed during its 18 months life span.

Aim 1) was achieved in the Partners' final meeting (Maastricht, 26/03/2019), during which UniSi, as the co-ordinator, presented the results achieved and the national reports were discussed. The Partnership agreed on the overall success of the project, especially for the large number of events organised, the high number of participants, the successful implementation of the Dissemination Plan, the positive experience with the recruitment of ESC volunteers.

Aim 2) was achieved in the following sub events:

Ø  A State of Exception, art exhibition at Bureau Europa (Maastricht, 27/03/2019), with the The Arson Archive by Thomas Stratmann, Metadata by Christopher Meerdo, We Can by

Alina Schmuch and Franca Scholz, and Memories of the Watch Towers by Joram

Raaijmakers. Their works investigate notions of totalitarianism, ostracism, prejudice, suppression and discrimination within the framework of the design quest for a new, European identity. The works on display showcased watchtowers, arson attacks on the homes of migrants and asylum shelters, drone surveillance, and how Germany is dealing with the consequences of the “Wir schaffen das”-quotation of Prime Minister Angela Merkel. In other words, it was all about the architectural translations of the key word 'Identity'.The participants discussed, amongst themselves, the artists and E-WORDS experts, about the politics of an us/them dichotomy, identity and citizenship, systemic bias in technology, the positive connotations to emigrants and the opposite response to immigrants.

Ø  Nationalism and everyday life. Romanians, Hungarians and Jewish, in the Inter – War Transylvania, a meeting/debate at Café Wien (Sibiu, 28/03/2019), whose aim was to disseminate the historical events that affected Transylvania from multi ethnical, intercultural and multi religious perspective. The participants reflected and debated on the life of minorities in Transylvania, the challenges of everyday life in the social and political context of the inter-war. Bodgan Dumitru, Ph.D candidate at the University of Florida, acted as the facilitator of the debate. At the end of the event, most participants agreed that all the key words fit in the challenges of a multicultural society, thus their historical background and proper knowledge are needed.

Ø  Sink in the mirror of forgiveness! Give each other the chance of a more meaningful life, a meeting/debate at the Sport Hall Unirea (Dobroesti, 28/03/2019) on how Romanian citizens relate to the recent past of their country. It'a a matter of keeping an 'Identity' through the remembrance of a troubled and recent (very recent!) past. The participants agreed that forgiveness is very much required to go over local and national divisions to embrace the European common values.

Ø  Human Rights and Discrimination: Franca Marini's Interpretation, an installation art at the

Dept. of Political and International Sciences of the University of Siena (Siena, from 28/03/2019 to 30/03/2019), whose aim was to give a visual interpretation of migrants searching for their identity and their resistance to the hardness of the journey. The stripped pieces of textile materials represented the uprooting of migrants, copper and iron the difficulties during the journey and the resettlement. After the opening on March 28th, the installation art was visited by a large number of ordinary citizens and Political Sciences students, thanks to its strategic position (along the corridor leading to the classrooms) and the long opening hours of the location (from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.). Either the artist herself or one of the E-WORDS experts were always present during the opening hours to respond to the visitors' questions and invite them to discuss and comment the installation art.
