Applications are welcome for the LRE Youth Ambassadors Network, an EU-funded project launched in November last year and brings together young people from all over Europe who want to explore WWII history, connect with others, and take an active role in shaping the future of remembrance.
Participation is free of charge and open to young people between 15 and 30 years living in the European Union. The network is designed for collaborative learning in a relaxed atmosphere, where participants can learn, exchange ideas, build friendships and reflect on the lessons of the past in relation to the future they want to shape.
Youth Ambassadors are invited to take part in online and in-person events in different European cities, including workshops, study visits, digital storytelling trainings and opportunities to bring their own ideas into the project’s educational activities. Upcoming in-person highlights are the Youth Forum in Prague, Czechia, in February 2027, the Youth Forum in Bastogne, Belgium, in 2028 and the Youth Remembrance Summit in Gdańsk, Poland, in 2028.
The Youth Ambassadors Network offers different levels of involvement, depending on participants’ availability and motivation. Young people can take part in a wide range of activities, from occasional online sessions to in-person events and longer-term engagement. At the same time, the network also provides opportunities for participants to take on a more active role in shaping its direction. This includes contributing directly to discussions on planning, priorities and future activities, helping to ensure that the network reflects the needs, ideas and perspectives of its members.
The LRE Foundation is proud to be the lead partner in this strong consortium of European organisations specialised in youth initiatives, history education and cultural heritage management. The project partners are Post Bellum (Czechia), Max Mannheimer Study Center (Germany), Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk (Poland), asbl Tourisme, Culture & Patrimoine (Belgium), Interpret Europe (Germany) and Studio Globo (Belgium).
