In November 2014, CESS and the Dutch National Fund for Peace, Freedom and Veterans (vfonds), will organise an event to commemorate 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The event will start on November 3 and end on November 6. In this week we organise a wide variety of activities, ranging from panel discussions and a master class to film nights, debate sessions and a photo exhibition. Our main target group consists of Dutch and international students of the University of Groningen and other universities in the Netherlands. The goal of our project is to keep the memory of the Cold War alive, especially among students, because most of them were not even born in 1989. Our goal is to engage this generation in the debate about the Cold War and present day security issues that can be traced back to the Cold War. Our guest speakers include journalist and historian Geert Mak, former leader of the Socialist Unity Party of East Germany Egon Krenz, former BVD agent Frits Hoekstra, generals from the Royal Dutch Military and professors from several Dutch universities. All activities will be free of charge. The language of all events is English. More information can be found on the website (25years.nl) and on the facebook event page (https://facebook/events/1458160131128160/?ref=22).
