Learning a History that is not yet History?-authors team event in Belgrade, Serbia
December 16, 2016 - December 18, 2016
How to teach the history of recent wars that is often considered not to be history yet, but is remembered in so many different ways, and has been investigated in great detail in the context of transitional justice? This is the main question the project seeks to answer by investing in a unique partnership among teachers and their associations from former Yugoslavia, in which transnational teams will collaboratively create a free ready-to-use learning resource about the 1990s Yugoslav wars.
This resource explores how this history should be addressed in a multi-perspective way; how war impacts developed societies and everyday life and to what extent history educators can also address current wars across the world through the lens of the experiences in the wars of the 1990s.
On 16-18 December, the authors of the Learning a History that is not yet History (LHH) get together in the Serbian capital to make further progress in the project.
