Dagesh | Rückblick: Dagesh-Netzwerktreffen anlässlich der Buchpremiere von Anna Schapiro
In this episode of our podcast series, we continue to highlight the people and ideas behind meaningful change across Europe as part of our coverage of European Alliance Programme projects.
Nicole Schweiß talks to Basya Gartenstein (GEZUBI) and Dragana Stojanovic (Haver Serbia) about their project, “The Upstanders Network”, which connects educators from Vienna and Belgrade to address issues such as antisemitism, Islamophobia, and discrimination against Roma and Sinti people, as well as broader social exclusion.
Listen as the two practitioners discuss the exchange’s highlights and how participants shared expertise, co-developed educational tools, and created a digital toolkit to promote inclusive and democratic values and teaching methods in schools in both cities.
Over the coming weeks, this podcast series will introduce more EAP projects, sharing insights into their ideas, challenges, and visions for a more inclusive future. Stay tuned!
If you have any feedback or comments, please get in touch.

“Historical responsibility cannot be voted away.” With these words, the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation called on the federal and state governments last Sunday to legally safeguard the independence of memorial sites – particularly in Saxony-Anhalt – by: through funding structures that ensure these institutions remain operational even in the event of a politically motivated withdrawal of state funding; through the targeted involvement of smaller memorial sites and local initiatives; and through the expansion of existing networks for joint educational work, legal advice and public support in the event of attacks on the institutions and their staff.
