Based on the essays of the winners and the shortlist participants, we initiated a common dialogue about the historical events of 1989/1990 and the path to freedom and democracy in Europe. A dialogue about the past, common values and a common future. To this end, a concluding panel discussion and reading took place on May 20, 2022 from at the Forum of Contemporary History (Zeitgeschichtliches Forum) in Leipzig. Additionally, we presented the trilingual essay volume „Mein Europa der Freiheit / Moja Europa Wolności / Moje Evropa Svobody” with all winning essays translated into two additional languages each.
