Tea Talks and Case Clinics opened a forum for the coordinators to bring their experience into the THK network, to discuss future work and exchange ideas on problem solving. Also staff member of other MitOst programmes were invited to share their expertise. So Sebastian Schlüter presented Actors of Urban Change, Olga Kotska Tandem, and Marischa Weiser introduced Tools for Citizens and Kathrin Oerters shared more information about MitOst as a network and members association.
To discover nature, get to know the local history and the todays creative and art scene the group went on field trips. A talk on the Arab Spring in Tunisia invited the participants to debate the developments of the last years.
Last but not least, we shall mention our constant companion who helped us make this meeting especially successful: The sun, shining bright and warm, thus giving us the opportunity to hold many workshops, talks and evening events under open sky.
The local coordinators of the THK programmes meet once a year with the team of the Berlin office in order to discuss work, discover synergies and exchange views on the further development of THK. This year’s meeting took place on the Tunisian island of Djerba from 11 to 15 March.

Teachers from all over Ukraine, Germany, Poland and North Carolina working together in Lviv. The project Trans.History which includes cross-sectoral training opportunities for teachers and multipliers of formal and non-formal education in Ukraine dealing with the topic of Ukrainian history. Furthermore, the program aims to involve young people by offering a video-competition that motivates them to work with the history of their country. It also encourages critical thinking about the history as well as a balanced culture of remembrance.
The project pursues the following objectives:
1) training of educators through formal and non-formal education networks and social media
2) promoting the interest and critical discussion of Ukrainian history in the 20th century with a special focus on the Jewish history, Holocaust and recent history
3) promotion of active civil society participation through the implementation of specific projects in schools; nationwide and cross-border exchange among young people.
Through the involvement of other partners from educational institutions and museums in Austria, Germany, Poland and the USA, the Ukrainian participants get the opportunity to enter into a lively exchange, which is important in the current times of crisis. By cross-sectoral work with schools on the one hand and NGOs on the other, democratic structures within Ukraine are promoted and positive synergies are created that contribute to the strengthening of civil society in Ukraine.
The project Trans.History would not exist without partners and donors. Trans.History is supported by International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and operated by Centropa, MitOst e.V., Інша Освіта / Insha Osvita.

Tandem Turkey aims at establishing long-term partnerships between cultural organisations from Turkey and the EU countries. The political landscape across the EU, Turkey and the neighbouring regions has substantially changed since Tandem Turkey started in 2011. In times of harshening working circumstances for cultural actors in Turkey and a vanishing EU integration perspective, building robust long-term collaboration channels between Turkey and the EU has become ever more essential.
