Czech-German Youth Exchange and Co-Operation Programmes as an Instrument of Czech-German Reconciliation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter analyses the role of historical reflection and reconciliation praxis in the area of Czech-German youth exchange and cooperation. It deals with the question, how the conflicted history has been reflected in the informal youth work and how approach(es) to the reconciliation between the nations have changed over the time. The main focus is on the Czech-German Youth Forum and the Czech-German Youth Exchange Coordination Centres &quot;Tandem&quot; as two key structures which have enabled the strengthening of engagement of the Czech and German youth in the cross-border projects since the mid-1990s. As such, dealing with the past in the context of youth activities represents a special area as well as instrument of development of an inclusive memory culture and of reconciliation. One of the main aspects of the youth programmes, besides improving language skills, meeting new people and developing international personal contacts is the fact that young people involved in them obtain awareness of an intercultural moment in their biography. They find support for further development of that awareness and become more favourable to the other culture, overcoming conflicts and supporting the reconciliation process.The analysis shows that parapublic activities in the international relationship go beyond the binary distinctions of public-private or state-society, and that youth co-operation, such as within the Czech-German Youth Forum, have made an extraordinary contribution to the reconciliation process. Even if the Forum has been mainly regional and has been most visible in relatively small groups, these groups have an important role as multipliers in Czech-German relations. The Forum thus contributes to the atmosphere of understanding, to growing mutual knowledge between both states and nations and have a multiplier effect; its direct impact on policymaking, though, is seen as limited.
