Katharina Austilat is a student of American Studies and Cultural Sciences at the University of Leipzig. Her work and volunteer experiences have allowed her to explore several forms of promoting commemorative culture and gain experience in transmitting memory in different contexts. Currently, she serves as an intern at the Network for Democratic Culture in Wurzen where she supports and explores concepts for educational programs for young adults in the county. She hopes to extend her knowledge and range of perspectives of participatory forms and frames of commemorative culture in public spaces throughout the DAICOR program.
