- Post Bellum wants to be part of a network of partner organizations within and without Europe, and is actively working to create and develop such a network. We bring together documentarians, historians, journalists and teachers in order to preserve peoples’ memories, develop critical thinking and support the values at the core of our society. Our goal is to expand this approach within Europe and beyond.
- Our international collection, www.memoryofnations.eu, is one of the broadest open databases of witness testimonies and contains hundreds of recordings of foreign witnesses from tens of countries. We cooperate with documentarians from three continents, and our mobile studio heads out to record abroad both near and far. Recently we have visited Cuba, Germany, Austria, Israel, the USA and other countries.
- Thanks to our regional branches around the Czech Republic we carry out various concepts of cross-border collaboration with our neighbours. This helps people come to terms with their own history and fill in the trenches opened up by historical injustice.
- We teach documentarians from Cuba and Myanmar and help processing and distributing their recordings of dissidents and political prisoners in order to foster democratization and civil society in general. We plan on expanding similar activities to Eastern Europe and other countries.
