Interreg VI A funding project 2024-2027
The German-Polish border region of the Brandenburg-Lubuskie funding area has a unique, multi-layered shared history that continues to have a strong influence on German-Polish understanding and mutual relations between the neighbouring countries to this day. The common challenge lies, among other things, in recognising this history mutually, preserving and presenting it in a comprehensible way for future generations and opening up scope and respect for the respective perspectives and individual interpretations.
With the Interreg VA project "Sites of Remembrance Oder-Warthe", a conceptual basis was laid for the MULTIPERSPECTIVE LANDSCAPE OF MEMORY Oder-Warthe, supported by the new network "Remembrance connects" Oder-Warthe and marketed via the umbrella brand of the same name, managed by the LP Stadt Seelow.
The main objective of the proposed project is to strengthen the young cross-border network "Remembrance unites" through cross-border knowledge and competence exchange and support for best practice transfer as well as through the deepening of two remembrance topics with special significance for the common German-Polish history in order to make them a cross-border tourist experience at various cultural sites:
a) 900 years of the diocese of Lebus (founded 1124/25),
b) Poland's shift to the West: expulsion-forced migration-loss of culture in 1945.
The development of the tourism offers is based on in-depth analyses, specialist conferences and concepts that are carried out or created as part of the project with the "Remembrance connects" network.
