Projects must address one (or both) of the following policy priorities set for 2022:

Holocaust remembrance, research and education will be a priority of the call. Projects under this priority should: a) consider the European and transnational dimension of the Holocaust, its root causes and consequences, and the implications for today; b) and/or consider to transform research, memorial sites and testimonies of Holocaust survivors into practical educational tools for all parts of society in particular multipliers such as policymakers, state officials and societal leaders; c) and/or pay particular attention to tackle the challenge of Holocaust denial and distortion, offline and online.

In line with the EU Roma strategic framework on equality, inclusion and participation, projects should also pay attention to the specificities of the Roma victims of the Holocaust and their struggle for recognition. The EU Strategy on Combating Antisemitism & Fostering Jewish Life (2021-2030) should be considered by projects during their implementation.

Resistance played a key role in fighting occupation, overthrowing totalitarian regimes, and paving the way for democratic transitions in Europe. The violations of fundamental freedoms under totalitarian or other regimes have been repeatedly challenged by different parts of society. Projects under this priority should: a) analyse and highlight resistance and/or organised opposition; b) and/or highlight the democratic transition including attempts providing justice for victims; c) and/or focus on how the EU accession influenced democratic standards and practices of the new democracies throughout the accession process.
