CONCLUSIONS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF REMEMBRANCE
Knowing history is crucial for understanding how the world works now. Not only because it had been different back then, but because we don’t pay enough attention to the privileges we have now. Remembrance is not only about our relatives being part of a war or a movement, it’s about carrying the identity of a descendant of the past and not repeating the same mistakes.
Remembrance is about learning, educating others and growing as responsible, active citizens. Even though the vast majority of the respondents agreed that remembrance is very important because we have to know our roots and origins in order to build a better future, some respondents mentioned that, in some countries, the way historical events are remembered is outdated with little to no perspective.
Building on this conclusion of the survey, we will further look at ways in which remembrance can become more "attractive" for young people and what stakeholders can do.
