This question has been the driving force behind the work that James Diskant has done with EuroClio and practising teachers and master students from five different countries during the last year. \nDuring this webinar\, Jim\, along with Steven Stegers\, will share the fruits of this work with the wider EuroClio community and ask for feedback\, suggestions\, and support. The webinar is centred around the teaching strategy “Analyzing Controversial Historical Figures to Understand Why they are Perceived so Differently“. The origin of this strategy was a lesson plan made by Melisa Foric as part of a EuroClio project addressing sensitive and controversial topics in the former Yugoslav region. In this lesson\, students learn how Gavrilo Princip\, known for his assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand\, was seen by others during and after his lifetime. Gentian Dedja\, who authored the strategy\, found that the same strategy could be applied to teach about other controversial figures as well. This assumption is what Jim and the rest of the team are now testing. \nSo\, what can you expect from the webinar? \n\nTo learn more about the teaching strategy and to see how it has been applied to different historical figures: Cristoforo Columbo/aka Christopher Columbus\, Vlad III\, known as the Impaler (Țepeș)\, of Wallachia\, Martin Luther\, Louis XIV of France\, and Catherine II (the Great) of Russia.\nTo understand how the development and testing of teaching strategies fit into the bigger strategy of EuroClio.\nTo be challenged to think of other historical figures for which the strategy could be applied.\nTo be asked to give some feedback (about teaching strategies in general and this example in particular) and to pilot the materials (which we see as the ultimate test and hope some participants are able to do).\n\nAs a bonus\, the participants will get access to all the student and teacher materials that have been developed so far.

As we ponder the future of our governments\, we wonder how we might use our imaginations to engage people to work together to strengthen our democracies and meet the challenges of our era. In this session\, we will explore how we might incorporate futures thinking into civic education\, and how it might help us rethink what’s possible. Taking inspiration from the newly released PBS documentary A Brief History of the Future\, we will explore how innovators are coming up with new ways to engage citizens in the democratic process and how we might come together to work towards a desired future. \nWhat do we offer? \nWhile both webinars can be joined independently\, they will each teach different aspects of game design and you will have the floor to work on your own playful educational activity. We will also offer an exclusive game that you can use in your classroom. \nAbout our host: \nThis webinar will be hosted by Michelle Blanchet – co-founder of The Educators’ Lab and author of Preventing Polarisation: 50 Strategies for Teaching Kids About Empathy\, Politics\, and Civic Responsibility. Michelle is an educational futurist who believes change in education can only happen if we support our teachers.

It examines the legal and ethical implications of the trials\, their significance in establishing accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity\, and the lasting impact they have had on subsequent international legal frameworks. \nThe International Criminal Court (ICC): Structure and Functioning: Here\, students learn about the structure\, mandate\, and jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This session would cover the ICC’s role in prosecuting individuals for genocide\, war crimes\, crimes against humanity\, and the crime of aggression\, as well as its relationship with national legal systems and the challenges it faces in fulfilling its mandate. \nCase Studies in International Justice: This module involves in-depth analysis of a specific case or trial before international court\, such as the ICC or other ad hoc tribunals (e.g. International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia). Students examine the factual background\, legal arguments\, and outcomes of selected cases\, considering their broader implications for international law\, transitional justice\, and the pursuit of accountability for mass atrocities. \n  \nTo apply for the seminars please use the following link! \nIn the application form please specify if you are applying for the teacher seminar or if you intend to bring your students to the online student seminar. \nThe number of students that can be accepted to the student’s seminar from each school will depend on the number of applications and will be communicated at a later point. \nBoth seminars are free of charge.

These reflections currently entail triumphant stories and cautionary tales. But to gain a more comprehensive historical understanding of the democratic experiment on Earth\, we must broaden our panorama. We must consider the other historic epicenter of democratic experimentation in the world: Latin America. Doing so brings a host of additional triumphant stories and cautionary tales to share with students and to enrich our conversations about what it takes to build a democratic republic—in the nineteenth century\, when such projects were so new and fragile\, during the first great wave of global decolonization. In this session\, we take a closer look at how inhabitants in the South American territory of Paraguay navigated this wave and conducted their own tenuous experiment to build an independent republic. \nOur host\nThe event will be hosted by Michael Huner\, Associate Professor of History at the Grand Valley State University. \nIn the wider context\nThis webinar will be the third of a series of four monthly sessions on the history of Latin America\, held in the fall of 2023.

These histories should provide a better understanding of the societal tensions that emerged during the colonial period and that continue to shape the region’s economic\, political\, social\, and cultural realities.  \nOur Host\nThe webinar will be hosted by Sarah Chocano Barboza\, a second-year PhD student at the University of Toronto’s Department of Geography and Planning. Her research lies at the intersection of urban geographies\, intercultural education and Mapuche activism. This research looks to understand how Mapuche affective ties to educational spaces—through memories of the past and articulations of the future—shape Chilean urban landscapes. Sarah has also gained professional experience within the educational sector as a history department assistant\, and humanities tutor. Currently\, she hosts and produces El CafeciTO\, the podcast of the Latin American Studies program at the University of Toronto’s Spanish and Portuguese Department. \nIn the wider context\nThis webinar will be the second of a series of four monthly sessions on the history of Latin America\, held in the fall of 2023.

This is the defining existential challenge of our time and helping students to understand how we reached this point has relevance for the way we navigate our way out of it.  In this session\, Michael and Alison will draw on their work for UCL’s new Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education for which they have developed four professional development modules for teachers.  Two of these modules introduce teachers to the potential of history to contribute to young people’s understanding of the planetary crisis and two exemplify this potential in relation to substantive historical topics.  Their work is relevant at all age groups between 5-18 years.  In this workshop\, Michael and Alison will share this work and the scholarship that underpins it. \nAbout our hosts\nThe session will be hosted by Alison Kitson and Michael Riley\, UCL Institute of Education. \nParticipation to this webinar is free of charge\nREGISTER NOW!

Historical changes on many levels soon followed the initial voyages of Columbus\, leading to the globalised world that we now inhabit. This lecture will provide a detailed overview of the political\, economic\, social and cultural histories of Latin America prior to colonisation by European powers. These histories should provide greater understanding of the clashes and fusions that occurred in the centuries following the Columbian encounter\, which continue to influence life across the planet.\n\nOur host\nProf. Rick Warner has taught Latin American\, African and World History at Wabash College in the state of Indiana in the US\, for 25 years.

Beginning with a brief overview of the historical context leading to the conflict commonly described as the “Troubles”\, it will then outline how this period was experienced as well as its consequences. There then follows an examination of how peace was achieved with the 1998 Good Friday/ Belfast Agreement and how the past 25 years have seen great progress\, despite the many challenges that have had to be overcome…many of which remain to this day. One of the most urgent and sensitive of these challenges relates to how the legacy of the past can be handled to ensure that it is no longer a source of tension with the capacity to undermine the future sustainability of peace. A central element in this debate is how the conflict is taught in local schools\, and there will be a brief overview of how the teaching of the “Troubles” is handled in the contemporary education system in Northern Ireland. The webinar will then focus on a recent collaborative project with National Museums NI entitled Voices of ’68 that placed education at the core of its multi-facetted activities and suggests a potentially fruitful blueprint for how the legacy of the “Troubles” can be approached and taught more generally. The conclusion will provide other\, recent\, and ongoing examples of how the “Troubles” is being constructively and effectively taught\, and it will be argued that there are lessons for the general issue of managing the legacy of the past in Northern Ireland. The webinar aims to encourage attendees to consider the applicability of the approaches presented to other post-conflict societies and the potential benefits of teaching the Northern Irish conflict as a rich and pertinent case study within their own contexts. \nWe will host this webinar on Tuesday 20 June at 16:30 (Amsterdam Time). Participation in the webinar is free of charge. \nResources\nVoices of ’68 resources \n\nDigital exhibition\nhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/book/voices-of-68/id1401984783?ls=1&mt=11\nEducational resources\nhttps://www.nationalmuseumsni.org/resources/northern-irelands-1968\nNMNI YouTube channel\nhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_UgxDN1Li8_0k73JfDTN3WSXJ4JCXMD_\n\nRelated Publications \n\nReynolds\, C. and Blair\, W.

The focus will be on pedagogy and the IWitness educational platform. \nIWitness has been developed by the USC Shoah Foundation and provides access to a vast collection of audiovisual testimonies from survivors and witnesses of genocide and mass atrocities. The platform allows educators and students to engage with these testimonies in a dynamic and interactive way\, using them as a tool for learning and teaching about the experiences of those who lived through these events. IWitness provides a range of resources\, including curated activities and multimedia tools\, that enable users to explore the testimonies in depth and develop critical thinking and analytical skills. The platform is designed to be accessible and user-friendly\, with customizable features that allow educators to tailor the content to their specific teaching needs. Through IWitness\, the USC Shoah Foundation aims to promote empathy\, tolerance\, and understanding\, and to inspire future generations to become agents of positive social change. The IWitness platform is international and provides content –educational materials and curated clips in 17 languages. The webinar will also explore how testimony clips can be used in various disciplines for various age groups and will focus on specific\, testimony-based programs\, too. \nFor this webinar EuroClio is cooperating with the Zachor Foundation and the USC Shoah Foundation. The webinar will take place within the framework of our partner project Rememchild on 24 May 2023 at 16:00 CEST. \nParticipation in the webinar is free. \nFacilitators\nAndrea Szőnyi is the director of Hungarian educational NGO Zachor Foundation for Social Remembrance\, founded in 2007.  She is also the head of international education of the USC Shoah Foundation.

Starting in May\, we will be hosting a total of twelve high-level keynote addresses on a variety of themes. \nIn particular\, we will host six lectures that will focus on pedagogy and teaching\, and six lectures focusing on content knowledge and historical events. \nWe will be creating dedicated event pages and registration links for all the webinars as soon as possible\, but we simply couldn’t hold our enthusiasm anymore! Below\, you can find the complete list of webinars\, with indicative dates when possible. \nWebinars to develop content knowledge\nJune 2023 – The experience of Women and Children during wartime\nAs part of our new partner project Rememchild\, we will host a panel discussion on the experience of women and children during the Spanish Civil War\, the Second World War\, and the 1990s Wars in the Western Balkans. Three experts on this topic will tell us more about how the events impacted those who were not fighting at the front\, and where we can find primary sources and testimonies on this. \nWe will host this webinar on Thursday 08 June at 16:30 (Amsterdam Time). Registrations will open soon! \nJune 2023 The Troubles and the Good Friday Agreement\n2023 marks 25 years from the signature of the Good Friday Agreement. During this webinar\, we will be talking with experts from Ireland\, discussing the events that led to the signature of the agreement and how the Troubles and the Agreement are remembered and taught today. \nWe will host this webinar on Tuesday 20 June at 16:30 (Amsterdam Time). \nFall 2023 – An introduction to the History of Latin America\nIn the Fall\, we will host a mini-series of four sessions that will introduce us to the history of Latin America\, a topic often neglected by the history textbooks and thoroughly fascinating. Sessions will take place every month\, at 16:30 (Amsterdam Time). We hope that\, by spreading the sessions as further as possible in the fall\, you will be able to join all the sessions that you find appealing. In particular\, these are the sessions we foresee: \n\n19 September 2023 @16:30 Amsterdam Time: Pre-colonial civilisations and peoples of Latin America\n8 November 2023 @16:30 Amsterdam Time: Voices of the “New World”: Testimonies and commentaries of the Latin American conquest\n22 November 2023 @16:30 Amsterdam Time: Independence and Decolonisation in Latin America: The case of Paraguay\, 1800-1870\n23 November 2023 @16:30 Amsterdam Time: Wearing cultures: How to teach history with fashion \n14 December 2023 @16:30 Amsterdam Time: Old World\, New World: Postcolonial Politics\, Production\, and Innovation\n\nWe will be able to only scratch the surface on these topics\, and we hope that these sessions will mark the beginning of more sessions and projects about and with Latin America. \nWebinars to discuss teaching approaches and pedagogy\nMay 2023 – The use of Video Testimonies in the classroom\nTogether with the Zachor Foundation and the USC Shoah Memorial\, we will talk about the iWitness repository\, and discuss how to select video testimonies about the Second World War\, as well as how to use them in the classroom. This webinar will take place within the framework of our partner project Rememchild. We will host this webinar on Wednesday 24 May at 16:00 (Amsterdam Time). Register now! \nSummer 2023 – Fiction in the classroom\nGearing up towards the summer and some well-deserved rest time\, we will be focusing on beach reads and on how to bring the books (and movies) that our students are interested in to the classroom as a tool to promote history education. In particular\, we will be hosting two sessions: \n\n11 July 2023 17:00 – Historical fiction in the classroom\nPostponed to 2024 – Dystopian literature in the classroom \n\nSeptember 2023 – Worldbuilding – Postponed to date to be confirmed\nBack from the holidays\, we will turn our attention on how to help our pupils develop a strong sense of place and time. How can we help them visualise Medieval Germany\, or Ancient Greece\, or Renaissance France? How can we build an image of walking in the streets of Florence at the time of the Medici family? Or the royal court in Spain? We will borrow some techniques from Science-Fiction and Fantasy authors\, and discuss world building. \n02 November 2023 @16:30 Amsterdam Time – Teaching history at a time of planetary crisis\nFinally\, we will reflect on Climate Change and History\, and on how talking about the environment and climate change from an historical perspective can help us engage students that might be failing to see how the teaching and learning of history relates to their life and their own experiences. \n23 November 2023 – Wearing Cultures: How to teach history with fashion \nDo fashion heritage and the history of fashion and costumes have a space in the classroom? We have asked this question to our members in October of 2022\, and we will be discussing how to use fashion\, and in particular costume history as a tool to help students reflect on everyday life in the past. \n  \nHow were the topics selected?\nYou will notice that our calendar is quite eclectic in terms of content. This is because we have decided to base the selection of topics on the preferences expressed by our members and participants in the evaluation forms and surveys of webinar series held in 2022. We hope\, in this way\, to develop high quality content that is at the service of the EuroClio community. \nWould you like to recommend future topics? Let us know by emailing the EuroClio Secretariat! \nRecommend a Speaker!\nWe have started reaching out to the speakers for some of the sessions\, but are still researching potential speakers. Is there any name jumping to mind? Let us know by emailing the address trainer@euroclio.eu! \nHow to join?\nWe will develop dedicated event pages and registration links for each session. The webinars before the summer are free of charge. \nIn the fall\, participation will be free of charge for our Members. If you are not a EuroClio Member\, please consider joining us.

These activities are online tools that have been developed to allow students to improve their historical thinking skills in a variety of ways. The course’s goal is that participants will be challenged to create their own e-Learning Activities. \nThrough this course participants will: \n\nlearn what Historiana is\, how to add sources\, how to use the builder\, how to share e-Learning Activities\, and how to review answers.  The trainers will model how to use and make e-Learning Activities (creating a topic\, developing an inquiry question\, selecting sources\, choosing challenging tools\, designing instruction\, and evaluating the activities)\,\nimprove their digital competence with these online tools\, which they can now use more easily with their students\, and\ncreate e-Learning Activities that promote quality history or citizenship education on Historiana and to do so independently by the end of the course.\n\nNo previous experience with Historiana is needed to join the course! \nProgramme\nDuring the course\, participants will join a few live sessions to be introduced to the course\, share their work\, and receive feedback and tips. In-between these session\, participants will be able to work on the modules in their own time in a set time frame. The course will start at the end of February 2023 and finish at the end of May. \n\nLive Session I: Course Introduction: Monday\, February 27\, 16:30 – 18:30\nIntroductory Module\nModule I: Creating a Topic and Developing an Inquiry Question\nModule II: Choosing Sources\nModule III: Choosing Challenging Tools\nLive Session II: Wednesday\, March 29\, 16:30 – 17:30\nModule IV: Designing Instruction\nModule V: Evaluating the Activities\nLive Session III: Wednesday\, April 26\, 16:30 – 17:30\nFinal Live Session: Sharing Activities and Moving Forward\, May 31\, 16:30 – 18:30\n\nMeet the trainers\nGijs Mushin van Gaans\, MA.\, studied History and Religious Sciences at the Radboud University in Nijmegen.

This war has increased Russia’s totalitarian aspects\, moving it closer to the Soviet Union Putin mourns. Yet\, totalitarianism nowadays is not just relevant in the case of Russia. Arguments for modern totalitarianism have further concerned states such as China\, but equally non-state actors such as Islamists and far-right groups. As such\, it has become evident that totalitarianism is not only a thing of the 20th century but continues to affect our present\, making the topic even more relevant for education. \nThe upcoming webinar series aims to discuss all the challenges of teaching totalitarianism\, to provide educators with the necessary skills and resources to approach this topic in class\, and to answer some key questions: \n\nHow do we teach about totalitarianism in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine? \nHow can we approach the subject of European memory in education? \nHow do we promote critical thinking among students in a time of dis- and misinformation?\n\nThe Design of the Webinar series\nThe series will focus on the sharing of effective approaches to inquiry-based learning when it comes to teaching about totalitarianism. The series will begin with a lecture by Adéla Gjuričová of the Czech Academy of Sciences\, a renowned expert on contemporary history. The keynote will be followed by two workshops hosted by lecturers and educators of the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes: Vojtěch Ripka and Josef Řídký. During these sessions\, they will reflect on how historical literacy can be promoted using online tools to address the key topics of totalitarian dictatorships. Both the workshops combine hands-on experience and online activities (adding a bit of theory and experience the educational department of the institute has acquired during the last 15 years). The series will conclude with a final sharing and debriefing session hosted by Alice Modena (EuroClio). \nPlease note that\, as part of its wider thematic focus on totalitarianism\, EuroClio will also produce relevant content for its general outreach work\, including a recently released podcast episode on the subject. \nThe Programme at a Glance\nThe webinar series will consist of four online sessions\, taking place at 16:30- 18:30 Amsterdam time. \n\nKeynote Lecture: Theory of Totalitarianism and the Communist Dictatorship in Czechoslovakia– November 1\, 2022\, hosted by Adéla Gjuričová\, Czech Academy of Science\nActive Workshop: The Facade of the Totalitarian Regime– November 8\, 2022\, hosted by Vojtěch Ripka and Josef Řídký\, Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes\nActive Workshop: Institutions of Violence\, Violence of Institutions– November 22. 2022 hosted by Vojtěch Ripka and Josef Řídký\, Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes\nSharing and Networking Session: How do we teach about totalitarianism in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine?– December 6\, 2022\, moderated by Alice Modena\, EuroClio\n\nAims of the Training\nDuring the webinar series\, participants will: \n\nDiscuss the continuing importance of totalitarianism nowadays  \nLearn how to teach students to recognize totalitarian qualities in different case studies \nWork together on how to approach European memory in education\n\nExpected Outcomes\n\n An increased knowledge of teaching strategies regarding totalitarianism in the past and present\n A certificate of attendance and active participation\n A booklet containing resources and practices on teaching totalitarianism collected in the course of the webinar series\n\nREGISTER HERE!CONCEPT NOTE\nWant to know more about this webinar series?

Many books\, songs\, movies\, theatre plays\, games\, and other media that we encounter on a daily basis are in fact influenced by past events and historical interpretations. \nStudents did not always choose to learn history\, and often do not have the advantage of understanding these nuances. Simply put\, some students fail to see how history is all around them. \nIn this webinar series\, we aim to explore exactly this topic\, tackling the questions: \n• How can we help our students understand that history is all around them and past events have ramifications that we can see today? \n• How can we use innovative teaching strategies to engage our students and promote historical understanding? \nJoin us for a series of keynote lectures\, sharing sessions\, and active workshops to discuss the topic of history outside the classroom. \nStructure\nThe first two sessions of the webinar series\, on oral history and (board) games for history teaching\, are pre-recorded (please see below for more detail). They will be followed by the online course\, which will kick off in late August with a keynote lecture\, two active workshops\, and a final sharing session: \n\n31 August 2022 @17:00 (Amsterdam Time): Keynote Lecture on “History in and beyond the classroom: Practicing public history as project-based learning”\, hosted by Prof. Thomas Cauvin.\n\n\n“Conceptualized in the 1970s as history done outside the classroom\, public history offers opportunities to connect universities\, schools\, cultural institutions and a variety of public groups. In this talk\, I present how public history has been defined\, practiced\, and taught in different contexts. I argue that its project-based methodology\, its connection to present-day issues\, and its focus on public communication make public history an extremely useful approach to teach history.” \n\n\n07 September 2022 @17:00 (Amsterdam Time): Active Workshop on “History and Cultural Heritage”\, hosted by Lidija Suica.\n20 September 2022 @17:00 (Amsterdam Time): Active Workshop on “Theatre as a medium for History Education”\, hosted by Prof. Vera Cantoni. Please note that this session will take place on Tuesday\, as opposed to what already announced.\n28 September 2022 @17:00 (Amsterdam Time): Final sharing session on “Plans and Constraints”\, which will be hosted by Alice Modena and will see you\, the participants\, taking the floor.\n\n——— \nTHE FIRST ADDITIONAL TEACHING STRATEGY IS NOW ONLINE \nAs previously announced\, within this webinar series we will also post two pre-recorded strategies on our YouTube channel. As of today\, you will be able to find the first strategy in a brand new playlist called: “Teaching Strategies”. \nWe have decided to split our strategy on Oral History in three\, bite sized\, parts. Feel free to check the following videos out whenever most convenient for you: \n\nSome things to consider before using oral history with your students\nPreparing students to conduct oral history interviews\nAnalysing oral history interviews\n\nThe second strategy\, on teaching using Board Games\, will be published in September! \n\nDuring the course we will be sharing teaching strategies\, experiences\, and practical tips and trick to: (1) promote students’ understanding of the role of history education in changing the world and the complex relationship between times\, spaces\, and identities in a historical context; (2) raise their awareness of the connectedness between past and present through on-site learning\, and reflection on the teaching of history across and beyond Europe; (3) promote participants’ access to new partnerships; (4) open up access to innovative history education tools from across the world with a focus on learning history outside of the classroom. \nThe course will result in a resources booklet that will be shared with all active participants. \nMain goals\nJoin us for an online course exploring strategies and approaches to help students engage with the past also outside of the history lessons! \nREGISTER HERE!Webinar Programme\nComing soon!

During this series\, each webinar focussed on a specific topic\, using exemplar content from the Europeana Collections\, and a critical thinking skill (you can find links to all webinars’ results at the bottom of this page). Given the positive feedback that we have received last year\, we have decided to offer a new webinar series for the period December 201 to May 2022. \nOur new upcoming webinar series will focus on four different topics\, and help us discuss how we can help us students relate with history from two distinct angles: the “wide angle” that allow students to understand how big events shape history\, and the “narrow focus” that allow students to reflect on the impact of history on local communities and everyday life. \nWhat will this webinar series focus on?\nUsing exemplar content from the Europeana Collections\, we will develop and present original eLearning Activities focussing on the following topics: \n\n“Coffee as a Global Commodity” – this session was hosted on 07 December 2021 by Helen Snelson. You can access a recording of the session here;\n“Bologna and the rise of Medieval Universities” – 15 February 2022 at 17:00 Amsterdam Time\, hosted by Gijs van Gaans.
