‘SURVIVE: Stories of Women and Children’s Resilience in World War II’

European Association “World-Our Home” as international partner started the new project “SURVIVE” , a project under the Citizens, Equality, Rights, and Values program (CERV) , funded by the European Union . Coorinating organisation is YouNet from Italy.

Partner organizations: UniTBv (Romania) , World-Our Home (Latvia) , and Civic Accelerator Spark Foundation (Poland) .

‘SURVIVE: Stories of Women and Children’s Resilience in World War II’ is created to shed light on the often-overlooked stories of women and children during World War II.

“SURVIVE” project seeks to shed light on the often forgotten stories of women and children during World War II in four partner countries: Italy, Poland, Romania and Latvia. With a particular focus on civilian life and resilience, the project aims to uncover and share the compelling stories of women and children who survived this turbulent period of war. Their experiences, characterised by courage, strength and perseverance, are an integral part of wartime history that deserves recognition and understanding.

To achieve this goal, the project focuses on adapting non-formal methods and gamification in Remembrance education.

SURVIVE employs innovative and engaging methods, such as Human Library, where participants have the opportunity to “read” living books, which are individuals who share their personal stories. Another method utilized by the project is gamified Urban Trekking. Through this approach, participants embark on a guided tour through urban areas, exploring historical sites and landmarks related to the experiences of women and children during the war.

To preserve the stories for future generations, the SURVIVE project plans to capture video testimonies of women and children’s resilience in WWII, which will serve as valuable resources and documentationfor future generations. Furthermore, the project intends to create 3D models of historical artifacts using advanced scanning technology. By digitizing and recreating personal belongings of civilians from the World War II era, the project aims to provide a tangible connection to the past, enhancing the educational experience for participants.
