Description

**Living Memorials: {Re}vitalize Digital History! - A Historical & Artistic Workshop at the BAYER Memorial Site** Join us for a unique historical and artistic workshop at the newly established BAYER Memorial site (Carl-Duisberg-Straße, 51373 Leverkusen, Germany) dedicated to honoring the 16,000 forced labor women under the Nazi regime. This event brings together a class of students from IATA (Namur, Belgium) and a class from the Lise-Meitner Gymnasium in Leverkusen for a cross-cultural exchange and creative exploration of history and memory. The workshop is part of the European memorial project 'Living Memorials: {Re}vitalize Digital History!'—a partnership between Mediel (Belgium), Opladener Geschichtsverein von 1979 e.V. (Germany), and the Société Historique de Villeneuve d'Ascq (France), supported by the European Union. This innovative project combines historical reflection with artistic expression, addressing contemporary societal issues such as online hate speech, through an interdisciplinary approach. Under the guidance of their teachers and filmed by the belgian director André Bossuroy, participants will engage in creative activities that blend history, art, and digital media. The workshop follows the educational method developed by Roman Kroke, the pedagogical and artistic director of the project, allowing students to reflect on the legacies of forced labor and the challenges of preserving historical memory in the digital age.
