Projekta “Neaizmirsīsim” mērķis ir palielināt sabiedrības apziņu par kopējo vēsturi, tās piemiņu un vērtībām, sniedzot satikšanās iespēju vairākām Eiropas Savienības dalībvalstīm, tādējādi stimulējot savstarpējās debates un pārdomas par neizdzēšamu Eiropas vēstures posmu un izmantojot savstarpējās komunikācijas ceļā iegūtās zināšanas kā iedvesmojošus instrumentus jaunu sadarbības tīklu veidošanai starp dažādām Eiropas organizācijām, stiprinot starpkultūru dialogu, veidojot stiprāku sabiedrības izpratni par brīvību, mieru, vienotību un cieņu pret cilvēktiesībām. Viens no galvenajiem uzstādījumiem konkrēto aktivitāšu un partnerības izveidē ir Eiropas iedzīvotāju (īpaši to, kas dzimuši pēc Otrā pasaules kara beigām) izglītošana par Otrā pasaules kara norisēm, sākumu un beigām un atstātajām sekām. Projektā apvienojušās dažādas organizācijas, kurām ir kas kopējs: pilsētas, ciemi un teritorijas, kuras neizdzēšami ietekmēja karš – skarot cilvēkus, arhitektūru, kultūras un dabas mantojumu, tradīcijas un vērtības. Daloties šajā it kā atšķirīgajā, bet tajā pašā laikā kopīgajā dažādo valstu un organizāciju pieredzē un skaidrojot jaunākajām paaudzēm iemeslus, kas izraisīja Otro pasaules karu, ir iespējams sniegt vietējām kopienām sapratni par Eiropas Savienības lomu un nozīmi mūsdienās – kāpēc tā tika izveidota un kas ir tie ideāli un vērtības, kuros tā balstās.

Domājot par projekta nozīmi gan Eiropas Savienības mērogā, gan nacionālajā katras valsts dalības aspektā, ir svarīgi atzīmēt, ka visas projekta aktivitātes ir plānotās tā, lai nodrošinātu pieredzes sniegšanu gan projekta tiešajai mērķa grupai, gan arī sekundārajiem dalībniekiem jebšu katras valsts vietējo kopienu iedzīvotājiem – tieši tāpēc ir izvēlētas tādas projekta aktivitātes (festivāls, mākslinieciskās performances, izglītojošās darba grupas utt.), kas nodrošina maksimāli lielu sabiedrības pieejamību un iesaistīšanās pakāpi.

Galvenās projekta ietvaros plānotās aktivitātes ir pieci tematiskie pasākumi:

–  “Pretestība”: virtuālās dokumentu krātuves izveidošana par vietējiem iedzīvotājiem, kas pieredzēja 2.pasaules kara notikumus Gustava Līnijā (Itālija);

–   “Okupācija”: mākslas performanču, kas veltītas okupācijas notikumu atcerei, izveidošana, iesaistot vietējās skolas un kultūras iestādes (Latvija);

–    “Pārvietošana”: izglītojošās darba grupas, veltītas holokausta un deportāciju atcerei, kā arī sieviešu lomas Otrajā pasaules karā izpēte (Lietuva);

–    “Aizsardzība”: simulācijas, festivāls, izstādes un skolu aktivitātes, kas organizētas 2.pasaules karā iesaistīto vietējo iedzīvotāju piemiņai (Malta).

–     Publikāciju “Sieviete “vīriešu karā”” un “Uzvaras Virtuves receptes” izdošana (Malta).
