From 9 to 12 March 2026, the LRE Forum returned to where it all began: Gelderland. It was here, in the Arnhem–Nijmegen region, that the foundations of the LRE network were first laid in 2008, when a group of museums and regional partners began working together to connect WWII sites and stories through what would become the Liberation Route. Bringing the Forum back to this region had both symbolic and practical value: it marked the origins of the network while allowing participants to experience firsthand the places and sites that shaped its development.
This year’s edition was organised by the LRE Foundation, with the support of the cities of Arnhem and Nijmegen and the Province of Gelderland. Over four days, members, partners, artists, educators, and travel professionals came together to reflect on the past while working on what comes next for WWII remembrance in Europe.
