About us

The essay contest is realized by a German-Polish-Czech team consisting of three organizations. One organization in each of the three countries is responsible for coordinating the contest. Together we have made it our task to create a dialogue about women in resistance fighting against National Socialism.

The Bildungswerk Sachsen der Deutschen Gesellschaft e.V. is the lead organization of the essay contest. The association has been active as a non-profit, non-partisan provider of political education since 1995. The focus of its educational work is the promotion of European coexistence, democratic citizen participation as well as transnational and intercultural exchange. In addition, the Bildungswerk organizes political and cultural-political study trips to Central and Eastern European countries as well as to the Near East.
