Remembrance Projects – Foundation for Commemoration and Peace

The Bewahrtes Leben Foundation – Foundation for Remembrance and Peace supports remembrance projects nationwide under the guiding principle "Reflecting through Remembrance." Carriers from educational institutions, non-profit organizations, interest groups, as well as other associations can submit an application at any time and receive financial support in the form of grants. In particular, schools, youth groups, and civil society actors dedicated to historical examination and commemorative work benefit from this continuously open funding opportunity. Projects from the fields of culture, education, culture & media, as well as training and further education are supported with the aim of making paths of remembrance vivid and sustainable.

The foundation aims to establish a multifaceted culture of remembrance that goes beyond mere recalling and encourages a call for peace. Fundable initiatives are those that provide content-relevant impulses for the culture of remembrance, convince through a pedagogically sound approach, and aim for long-term impact. In the selection process, thematic relevance and methodological concept are important, as well as sustainable integration into everyday educational practice and the perspective of future generations. Through the close linkage of eyewitness talks, historical excursions, and creative forms of mediation, a bridge from the past to the present is to be built. Interested project carriers can find all funding guidelines and application details on the website of the Foundation for Remembrance and Peace.
