REMEMBR-HOUSE contest 2023

Classes and groups of people (13 to 19 year-olds), resident in EU Member States, can enter the REMEMBR-HOUSE contest submitting their Houses of Remembrance project.

Participants can benefit of the support of teachers/educators/cultural operators. They will have to present a project for a House of Memory referring to and further developing thinking and reflections on inalienable human rights.

Entries will develop the key themes of the REMEMBR-HOUSE Project:

  • The shared theme of house/home and what it means in people’s lives
  • Thoughts and remarks about the denial of rights
  • Active citizenship
  • The value & importance of personal choices
  • Dialogue, discussion and the exchange of ideas and opinions

In preparing their proposal, participants can use the educational material downloadable on the relevant page at https://www.remembr-house.eu/en/remembr-house-kit/.
