Initiated by the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity, the project involves 20 young European artists and humanities students selected by an international jury from hundreds of applicants. Hungary is represented by Anna Rubi, currently a film student in Switzerland.
The itinerary includes streetart projects, city games, meetings with opposition activists, joint filmmaking and writing a blog. While in Budapest, the participants are scheduled to visit the Memento Park where Communist-era statues are on display, meet the architect Ákos Eleőd and attend a meeting in parliament with key personalities from the time of the regime-change, including parliamentary speaker László Kövér and former President Mátyás Szűrös.
The schedule also includes a visit to the House of Terror Museum and a boat trip on the River Danube with lectures organised by the Polish Institute about the fall of Communism.
