Vitsche e.V. is a Berlin-based NGO amplifying Ukrainian voices across Germany and Europe. We challenge post-colonial narratives, combat Russian disinformation, and mobilize public support for Ukraine. From civic action to cultural programs, from campaigns to policy dialogue, our work keeps Ukraine’s realities visible in European political and cultural discourse. Vitsche works at the intersection of civil society, culture, and political education.
Pilecki Institute is a Polish research and cultural institute, digital archive, historical museum, and center for education. It brings Polish and other Central and Eastern European perspectives into international debates on 20th-century history, focusing particularly on Nazi Germany and Soviet totalitarianism and their consequences, as well as the history of modernity in Central and Eastern Europe. Bringing history and the humanities into dialogue with the social and political sciences creates a space for interdisciplinary and international reflection.
Past / Future / Art is a Ukrainian memory culture platform that carries out commemorative, research, and art projects and establishes discussion programs to engage broader audiences in working through the past. We curate art exhibitions, organize artistic laboratories and memorial competitions, and develop educational projects. We also collaborate with the Ukrainian state and public actors in the field of commemoration. Our projects include a specialized glossary of terms used in work on collective memory and research into transitional justice and the transformation of regional identity in Ukraine.
