The "Grandparents. Grand Stories" contest series, organized by the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity, invites participants to explore the personal and local dimensions of 20th-century history through family stories, memories, and treasured objects passed down through generations.
Aimed especially at elementary and secondary school pupils, university students, and educators, this initiative strengthens intergenerational dialogue and encourages a deeper connection to the past. Through submissions from across Europe and beyond, participants help preserve the fading memories of crucial historical eras for future generations.
