El proyecto REMEMCHILD es una apuesta por la continuidad del proyecto MIGRAID- Migraciones y Ayuda Humanitaria en Europa (1914-1949), aprobado en la convocatoria Europe For Citizens 2019, cuyo objetivo principal ha sido profundizar en experiencias colectivas de niños y mujeres, desde 1914 hasta 1949, un periodo convulso y crucial en la Historia de Europa, marcado por dos conflictos bélicos mundiales, así como por sus múltiples consecuencias sobre la población civil.
REMEMCHILD recupera experiencias y memorias infantiles durante los conflictos bélicos europeos, especialmente en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la postguerra. Los niños fueron la parte más vulnerable del conflicto, particularmente los menores judíos y roma, víctimas del Holocausto, los niños con discapacidades, sometidos a abusos y experimentos, y los colaboradores de la Resistencia. La Segunda Guerra Mundial tuvo otras consecuencias sobre ellos en calidad de internados, desplazados, refugiados, huérfanos, etc., víctimas, supervivientes y protagonistas, así como los grandes olvidados en la memoria del conflicto. Estas figuras son abordadas, recuperadas y revindicadas junto con las de mujeres, víctimas del nazismo, resistentes y combatientes, sanitarias y médicas, trabajadoras en la retaguardia, voluntarias de la ayuda humanitaria, y madres, protectoras y cuidadoras de las infancias. A través de diferentes actividades de impacto y divulgación cuidadosamente diseñadas para diferentes públicos – escolares, jóvenes, investigadores, organizaciones humanitarias o memoriales, asociaciones memorialísticas, beneficiarios de subvenciones European Remembrance, artistas, refugiados, entre otros- el proyecto fomenta la constante interacción con los resultados, la reflexión colectiva, la cooperación y diálogo trasnacional y la innovación de los formatos. Con ello, REMEMCHILD pretende: recuperar, transmitir y conservar memorias de niños y mujeres; combatir la distorsión/el negacionismo del Holocausto, prevenir el antisemitismo, el odio y la marginalización; defender y promover los valores fundamentales de la UE como la solidaridad y la igualdad; divulgar el capital de experiencias resistentes para la construcción de sociedades civiles democráticas; potenciar la socialización de las políticas de protección a la infancia y de igualdad de género; y evidenciar la importancia de la paz mediante el diálogo intergeneracional, transnacional y memorial. Los niños siguen siendo las grandes víctimas de los conflictos, una evidencia que refuerza la necesidad de explorar y divulgar sus experiencias.

The REMEMCHILD project is a commitment to the continuity of the MIGRAID- Migrations and Humanitarian Aid in Europe (1914-1949)- project, approved in the Europe For Citizens 2019 call, whose main objective has been to delve into the collective experiences of children and women from 1914 to 1949, a turbulent and crucial period in the history of Europe, marked by two world wars and their multiple consequences on the civilian population.
REMEMCHILD recovers children’s experiences and memories during the European war conflicts, especially in WWII and the post-war period. Children were the most vulnerable part of the conflict, especially Jewish and Roma children, victims of the Holocaust, children with disabilities, abused and experimented on, and Resistance collaborators. WWII had other consequences on them as internees, displaced persons, refugees, orphans, etc. – victims, survivors and protagonists, as well as the great forgotten in the memory of the conflict. These figures will be addressed, recovered and vindicated alongside those of women, victims of Nazism, Resistance fighters and combatants, sanitary and medical workers, rear-guard workers, humanitarian aid volunteers, and mothers, protectors and carers of children. Through different impact and dissemination activities carefully designed for different target groups (school children, young people, researchers, humanitarian organisations, memorials, memorial associations, European Remembrance grantees, artists, refugees, among others), the project encourages constant interaction with the results, collective reflection, transnational cooperation and dialogue, and innovation of formats. In doing so, REMEMCHILD aims to: recover, transmit and preserve memories of children and women; combat Holocaust distortion/denial, prevent anti-Semitism, hatred and marginalization; defend and promote core EU values such as solidarity and equality; disseminate the capital of resistant experiences for the construction of democratic civil societies; enhance the socialization of child protection and gender equality policies; and highlight the importance of peace through intergenerational, transnational and memorial dialogue. Children and women continue to be the greatest victims of conflict, evidence that reinforces the need to explore and disseminate their experiences.
