A virtual journey through time begins in the centre of Linz's main square. The present fades away and suddenly you find yourself in Linz during the Nazi era. A stranger approaches you, visibly under pressure, and asks for help. Look away or act? Your decision counts.
The Augmented Resistance Walk, which was launched in 2025, will be expanded in 2026 with the support of ProEuropeanValues to include the new "Learning Resistance" level. While earlier levels of the AR Walk focused on the struggles for political and economic participation of women* in the 19th and early 20th centuries, "Learning Resistance" focusses on the culture of remembrance, democratic awareness and scope for action in the Nazi resistance from a feminist perspective.
With the help of augmented reality (AR), resistance fighters appear as computer-generated figures directly in the urban space. This turns the historical narrative into a personal experience: participants move through real places, follow clues, make decisions and experience their consequences. All that is needed is a smartphone with an internet connection. The public space becomes a place of remembrance and learning that is accessible at all times, where courage, responsibility and civil courage can be experienced in concrete terms.
