DRA e.V. (Berlin)
The DRA e.V. is an international non-governmental organization that has been committed to peaceful coexistence among citizens in a democratic Europe that transcends borders since 1992. The DRA supports the development of pluralistic societies in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Georgia as well as the EU and advocates a peaceful dialogue between Germany and the countries of Eastern Europe. The focus of international project work includes the fields of education, youth exchange, civil rights, history, environment, media and social affairs. Since 2015 the DRA, together with Sofia Platform, has been the main coordinator of the “Transition Dialogue” network. From 2009-2011 the DRA was the initiator and founding member and from 2014 the sponsor of the EU-Russia Civil Society Forum. The project “Different Wars” was developed in this context – a comparative historical image analysis of six countries about the Second World War.
The DRA has a partner organization of the same name in Russia.

Open Lithuania Foundation (OLF)
Open Lithuania Foundation launched its activities in October 1990 as an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organisation, whose main objective was to support the development of an open and democratic civil society in Lithuania in the period of transition from an authoritarian system of governance to democracy. During the first 17 years of its existence OLF’s support for different projects amounted to over 60 million USD; it ran over 40 programmes of varying sizes and published over 350 books. OLF periodically reviews and defines the strategy of its activities, taking into account the pulse of society’s political and social change. It renewed its activities in 2017 with a fresh structure and format, and its projects today are aimed at promoting the formation of an open, mature, responsible, active, tolerant civil society in Lithuania, actively engaging in activities in the spheres of civic engagement, education, research, culture, law, social media, independent media, public health, social areas and the promotion of a knowledge-based society. OLF works to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in Lithuania and Europe, fight against discrimination and promote tolerance, support communities, non-governmental organisations and vulnerable groups in society.

Sofia Platform Foundation (Sofia / Bulgaria)
Sofia Platform was founded in 2013. Two strands characterize the work of the NGO: Through historical-political education on wheels, Sofia Platform pursues the goal of carrying political education work in Bulgaria, especially in regions outside the capital, in order to promote a democratic culture and the examination of the communist past. In 2018, 500 students, 120 teachers and 300 citizens in 21 Bulgarian cities were involved (http://sofiaplatform.org/an-incredible-year-comes-to-an-end/). In addition, Sofia Platform is actively involved in the identity debate, which the countries of Central and Eastern Europe are grappling with with transition experiences. Specifically, it is about the questions: Who are we and why are we how we are? Does the state of the current political culture have anything to do with the lack of coming to terms with the communist past, with the experiences during the transition or with the current democratic challenges? Sofia Platform was originally founded as part of the events around the Arab Spring in order to support countries in transition phases through their own experiences and lessons learned. Since 2014, the focus has been on the question of how the lack of addressing the transition affects the current social and political situation in Bulgaria. Sofia Platform has a large network of national and international experts in formal and non-formal political education, such as historians, teachers and cultural workers, and is part of Networking European Citizenship Education (NECE) and Networking Arab Civic Education (NACE).
