The EVZ Academy provides impulses for a critical European culture of remembrance and opens up new perspectives on human rights issues. The EVZ Academy connects people from politics, academia, historical education, business, and civil society. It initiates debates, develops new educational approaches and formats, and draws on a wide range of digital and analog tools: interactive archives and multimedia learning modules open up new ways of accessing biographies, historical sources, and sites of Nazi persecution. They enable independent research, reflection, and participation.
The EVZ Academy - online platform shows how educational work can function anytime and anywhere. It is the digital learning center for the topics and programs of the EVZ Foundation: Here, users will find interactive formats, courses, and background materials on topics such as Nazi forced labor or the history of compensation programs for survivors.
The EVZ Academy hosts EVZ Conversations!, where international experts discuss current, socially relevant topics that are closely linked to the mission and work of the EVZ Foundation. The series of talks and events creates new spaces for constructive discussion and dialogue – whether on current challenges for the culture of remembrance or the situation of human rights activists in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia.
The HistoryLab is a creative media and learning lab that gives young people the space and tools to turn their own questions about Nazi history into a historical project. The aim is not only to make history visible and reach others through social media campaigns, workshops, or exhibitions, but also to empower young people to engage critically with history and become active creators and part of a network.
