Since the network was founded in September 2001 on the initiative of the Hamburg-based Körber Foundation, some 252,000 youth have already participated in the history competitions with about 102,000 contributions.
[1] In addition to those involved in the individual national member organizations, there are about 2,500 teachers, experts, scholars and volunteers who give their time to EUSTORY and its projects.
Every year, youth from EUSTORY member countries set out on the trail of history, tracking numerous themes.
With its coordination office at the Körber Foundation in Hamburg, Germany, the network currently connects 23 civic organisations in 23 countries across Europe.
All members agreed on a common document, the Charter, postulating the "disarmament of history", for tolerance and mutual understanding in Europe.
