Materialized memories – the great people depicted, communicate with secondary and university students about the historical context of European orientation in Slovakia. Via Cultura; Institute for Cultural Policies believes that today it should be a priority to emphasize the continuity of undeformed historical memory, especially if surveys among students indicate that they lack the knowledge about real personalities of the Slovak and European history of the 20th century. The MVZP/2018/40 project is implemented with the financial support of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic under the International Relations and Foreign Policy of the Slovak Republic grant programme.
