International Conference Cultural Policies for the Promotion of European Democratic Memory

The Spanish Ministry of the Presidency, Relations with the Cortes, and Democratic Memory, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Sports, is organizing this International Conference, which will take place at the Museo Lázaro Galdiano in Madrid from October 4th to 6th, 2023. The conference will focus on the importance of democratic memory in Europe since the end of the conflicts that ravaged the continent during the 20th century, highlighting its fundamental role in preventing forgetfulness and the recurrence of tragic events. This event, held within the framework of the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, aims to emphasize European initiatives related to the management of cultural heritage from the perspective of memory, human rights, and the commitment to “non-repetition” as an ethical imperative in European democratic society.
