COME: Controversial Memory Together Exploring politics of memory in Bleiburg/Pliberk
Bleiburg/Pliberk (Austria), 2-9 July 2023

About the project

In many European countries, the acceptance of right-wing populist and right-wing extremist ideologies is increasing. We stand against this! In this context, fascist groups use distorted or incomplete representations of history to give historical legitimacy to their ideological stance. An example of this is the myth of the "Bleiburg/Pliberk massacre", which is widespread in Austria, Croatia and Slovenia. Until recently, thousands of Ustaša supporters, (neo-)Nazis, fascists, conservatives and church representatives gathered every year in May in the town of Bleiburg/Pliberk to commemorate the alleged victims of the so-called "Bleiburg/Pliberk Massacre" in May 1945. Especially since the 1990s, the commemoration on the occasion of this myth developed into one of the largest networking meetings of the extreme right in Europe. It was not until 2022 that the commemoration was officially banned by the Austrian federal government.

This youth exchange aims to engage young people (between 18-30) in activism against right-wing populism and right-wing extremism. Depending on the interests of the participants, they can create social media posts, create and/or revise Wikipedia articles, record podcasts, plan interviews, plan anti-fascist commemorative events, write journalistic articles, create exhibition concepts, make short films, design educational workshops and/or creatively produce literary writing during the exchange and afterwards.
