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. Other sessions in the series will cover: \n\n19 September 2023: Pre-colonial civilisations and people of Latin America – the recording will be made available to EuroClio Members soon! \nOctober 2023: Colonial Empires in Latin America \n14 December 2023: Old World\, New World: Postcolonial Politics\, Production\, and Innovation\n\nYou can register to these sessions individually for a fee of 10 EUR\, or register to the whole series for a fee of 20 EUR. \nParticipation to the webinar series is free of charge for our members.

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. He has worked on the national College Board Advanced Placement World History course as executive committee member and in the administration of exam evaluation. Prof. Warner has also served as on the Executive Council of the World History Association\, and served terms as Vice President and President of the WHA. In his first career he worked as a chef for 12. years\, and currently conducts research on the history of food.\n\n\nIn the wider context\nThis webinar will be the first of a series of four monthly sessions on the history of Latin America\, held in the fall of 2023.

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.

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. If you prefer not to\, we will also be selling a limited tickets for each lecture\, for a maximum amount of 10 EUR per ticket. \nThe calendar at a glance\nMay\n24/05: The use of Video Testimonies in the classroom \nJune\n08/06: The experience of Women and Children during wartime\n20/06: The Troubles and the Good Friday Agreement \nJuly\n11/07: Historical fiction in the classroom\nPostponed: Dystopian Literature in the Classroom \nSeptember\n19/09: Pre-colonial civilisations and peoples of Latin America\nPostponed: Worldbuilding \nNovember\n02/11 Teaching history at a time of planetary crisis \n8/11  Colonial Empires: Voices of the “New World”: Testimonies and commentaries on the Latin American conquest \n22/11 Independence and Decolonisation in Latin America: The case of Paraguay\, 1800-1870 \n23/11 Wearing Cultures: How to teach history with fashion \nDecember\n14/12 Latin American history from the independence until today URL:https://euroclio.eu/event/our-2023-webinar-offer/ CATEGORIES:Online Seminars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://euroclio.eu/wp-content/uploads/EuroClio-Article-Banner-3-3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20230227T163000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20230531T183000 DTSTAMP:20260524T224641 CREATED:20230119T163007Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240108T143559Z UID:45449-1677515400-1685557800@euroclio.eu SUMMARY:Engaging Educators to Use Online Tools: Online Self-Paced Course DESCRIPTION:About the Course\nIn a world that revolves increasingly around competencies in media literacy\, educators need to be prepared to teach online creatively to supplement what they do in class.This online self-paced course will assist educators to create and share e-Learning Activities on Historiana. 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.

How can we provide them with a representative history that encourages them to be active citizens and political leaders in the future? \nUntil today\, history curricula still mostly focus on high politics\, diplomatic and military history\, prioritising male-dominated narratives that marginalise the role of women and gender-nonconforming individuals. This\, unfortunately\, has contributed to undermining many pupils’ ambition and self-respect\, thus also their political engagement and active citizenship. Citizens’ participation in politics is essential to ensuring a robust and healthy democracy – when citizens become complacent\, indifferent\, or otherwise unengaged\, the well-being of a democracy suffers as voices go unheard and needs unmet. This is still the case with many women and many members of the LGBTQI+ community. While there are many exceptions\, the overall representation of women and members of the LGBTQI+ community is still poor in the fora of political decision-making at local\, national\, and European levels. \nIn this webinar series\, we seek to bring more voices to the foreground during history lessons\, and explore teaching strategies and tools that promote gender inclusivity. Between May and June 2022\, we will welcome 30 motivated history and citizenship educators from all across the world to engage in interesting discussions\, join active workshops\, and enjoy networking opportunities. \n\n\n\n\nThe webinar series will reflect on a series of key challenges and strategies that can foster inclusive history education\, especially in relation to increasing the visibility of women in school curricula and matters of sex and gender in society across time. We will tackle two main questions: \n\nWhat does it mean to promote inclusive and representative history in our classroom\, especially in relation to sex and gender?\nWhat is Gender Mainstreaming\, and what tools can we use to effectively mainstream gender in our history lessons?\n\nStructure\nThe webinar series will consist of five online sessions\, taking place at 17:00 – 18:30 Amsterdam time. \n\nKeynote Lecture: Gender and Sexuality in History – May 18\, 2022\, hosted by Prof. Dr. Claudia Jarzebowski\nActive Workshop: Gender and Kingship: Visual Representation in Eighteenth Century France – June 1\, 2022\, hosted by Stefania Gargioni\nActive Workshop: Talking Gender Diversity and Sexuality: Including 2SLGBTQ+ Stories In The Humanities Classroom – June 8\, 2022\, hosted by Gab Rogers\nActive Workshop: Do We Still Need Feminism? – June 15\, 2022\, hosted by Isabela Miron\nSharing and Networking Session: How do members of the EuroClio Community teach history in a gender-inclusive and representative way? – June 29\, 2022\, moderated by Alice Modena\n\n\n_______________________________________________ \nThe webinar series will open with a Keynote Lecture\, hosted by Prof. Dr. Claudia Jarzebowski. During the lecture\, participants will explore the current state of women and gender history\, talking about intersectionality and what steps need to be taken to mainstream gender inclusion in history classrooms. \nThe keynote lecture is followed by three active workshops\, hosted by Stefania Gargioni\, Gab Rogers and Isabela Miron\, which focus on teaching strategies to promote gender mainstreaming in the classroom and to make history lessons more representative.\n\n\nStefania’s workshop titled Gender and Kingship: Visual Representation in Eighteenth Century France will look at representations of gender and kingship in early modern France\, using a scheme of work on the French Revolution. By looking at a set of pictorial sources (for example\, portrait and original cartoon)\, she will demonstrate how the representations of monarchs – both Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette – were strongly related to ideas of femininity and masculinity. The source will show how\, in the Revolutionary period\, the criticism against the monarchy was also conveyed through derogatory views of Louis XIV’s masculinity and Marie Antoinette’s femininity.\n\n\n\nGab Rogers’ workshop\, titled Talking Gender Diversity and Sexuality: Including 2SLGBTQ+ Stories In The Humanities Classroom\, will explain and demonstrate how to integrate Queer content and inclusion into humanities classrooms. We will begin with a discussion on modern terminology and historical language\, followed by general and local Queer examples. The webinar will conclude with an active workshop on practicing contextualizing diverse sources. Participants will leave this webinar feeling more prepared\, equipped\, and able to tackle meaningful Queer affirmation in their classrooms. \n\n\nIn history and across many cultures women have been often seen as second-class citizens. But History gives us a sense of identity and History teachers need to give students role models\, to educate them not to perpetuate the inequality of the past. Isabela’s workshop\, titled Do We Still Need Feminism?\, aims to find the best teaching techniques to educate students in the spirit of gender equality\, respect for human rights and tolerance\, to make space for women in the stories we tell for the future. Let’s find out if we still need feminism! \n\nThe webinar series will end with a sharing and networking session\, facilitated by the EuroClio staff\, on the topic of “How do members of the EuroClio community teach history in a gender-inclusive and representative way?”. In this session\, participants will have the possibility to present their own teaching approaches\, share challenges that they are encountering\, and answer the dreaded question “where do we go from here?”. \n\n\n\nThe webinar series will reflect on a series of key challenges and strategies that can foster the promotion of inclusive history education\, especially in relation to increasing the visibility of women in school curricular and matters of sex and gender in society across time. \nThe content\nThe preparation of teachers and pupils alike with tools\, aimed at bringing more voices to the foreground during history lessons. The tools and strategies shared during the webinar series will be presented in the context of gender inclusion\, but can be used also in conjunction with other topics. \nMain Goals\nJoin us to discuss how can we teach about attitudes to gender and sexuality in history\, share your experience\, and learn from your peers! \nSign up here!CONCEPT NOTE\nTo see the concept note of this webinar series\, click here! \nWEBINAR PROGRAMME\nTo see the full and detailed programme of this webinar series\, click here!

During these sessions\, participants will be able to engage in interesting discussions\, join active workshops\, and enjoy networking opportunities.\n\nBy tackling the questions “How do we define the terms ”Stereotypes” and “Preconceptions”?”\, “How does stereotypes and preconceptions emerge?” “How can we challenge stereotypes and preconceptions?” this webinar series will reflect on several key factors when it comes to dealing with the topic in the classroom. One of the main goals of the webinar is the preparation of teachers and pupils alike with tools\, aimed at recognising\, confronting and challenging stereotypes and prejudices should they emerge in the classroom. \n\nSuch practices can be used also in other cases as the development of critical thinking among the students as well as promoting mutual respect and tolerance towards different cultures\, religion\, ethnicities etc. not only in the classroom but out of school as well. \n\nThe structure of the webinar series:\nThe webinar series will consist of five sessions\, taking place at 17:00 – 18:30 Amsterdam time.\n\n\n\n\nKeynote lecture: Stereotypes and implicit bias in education – 02 march 2022\, hosted by Dr. Loes Meeussen\nThe Pink Triangle – History and Memory of LGBTQ+ in European Culture – 09 march 2022\, hosted by Mickaël Bertrand\nStereotypes and Prejudices in Learning History – 23 March\, hosted by Marko Šuica.\nTHINK\, FEEL AND CARE – challenging stereotypes in the history class – 30 March\, hosted by Emma Abbate.\n\n\n\nThe Series opens with a Keynote Lecture on the psychology of stereotyping and discrimination\, which helps participants develop a common definition of what stereotypes and preconceptions are\, understanding not only what is their connection to phenomena such as discrimination and scapegoating\, but also how they are generated\, shared\, and internalised.\n\nThis lecture provides an overview of research on stereotypes and (implicit) bias. Dr. Meeussen outlines the function and origin of stereotypes and the psychological processes through which they affect our own choices\, our evaluations of others\, and as such\, people’s chances and success. Next\, she discusses different strategies and structural changes that can prevent the use of stereotypes in order to reduce inequalities in educational contexts.\n\n\nDr. Loes Meeussen is a senior researcher at the Center for Social and Cultural Psychology at the University of Leuven\, Belgium; Lector in Applied Psychology at Thomas More Antwerp\, Belgium; and member of the Young Academy in Belgium. In her research\, she studies inequality from a social psychological perspective: inequalities in culturally diverse schools and organizations on the one hand\, and gender inequality in work and family roles on the other hand. How do people cope with stereotypes that exits about their group? And what characterizes inclusive contexts in which everyone can function optimally? \n\nThe keynote lecture is followed by two active workshops:\n\nThe first active workshop is hosted by Mickaël Bertrand: Pink Triangle – History and Memory of LGBTQ+ in European Culture.\nMost of the time\, when students hear about LGBTQ+ at school\, it is to talk about persecution and bullying. In this workshop\, participants are invited to consider the way we can teach how LGBTQ+ people have gained recognition and finally proved that they are not only victims but also heroes of European culture. During this session\, participants receive a list of documents which can be used in History\, Civics\, English\, Arts\, Cinema and also Sciences. They are also invited to test an “Hexagon Game Activity” that they can then adapt in their lessons. \n\nMickaël Bertrand is a history\, geography and civics teacher in the Académie de Dijon (France) and a Trainer and author of education resources. \n\nOn the 15 March\, a networking session takes place. The focus lies on interactive discussions where participants will have the possibility to reflect on and share the experiences they had and tools acquired in school\, exploring potential strategies to tackle stereotypes and preconceptions in the classroom.This session will be hosted by EuroClio secretariat staff. \nThe second active workshop is hosted by Marko Šuica: Stereotypes and Prejudices in Learning History. This workshop focuses on teaching strategies and lesson plans that can be used to challenge stereotypes and preconceptions. Questions about stereotypes as a regular occurrence in everyday life\, distinctions between “positive” and “negative” stereotypes and their relation to the classroom are tackled in this session. \n\nMarko Šuica is a Professor of history and lectures in History at the University of Belgrade. His specialty is medieval Balkan history\, history didactics\, curricula design and assessment. He is active in educational projects and teacher training on national\, regional and international level. He is the author of several textbooks\, additional teaching materials\, education standards and history curricula. He is also a consultant on Council of Europe anti-discrimination and national minorities programs\, member and project advisor of EuroClio and the International Society for History Didactics. \n\n\nThe webinar series will conclude with the session THINK\, FEEL AND CARE – challenging stereotypes in the history class – hosted by Emma Abbate. This workshop will expose participants to hands-on examples of how teachers can analyze prejudices and stereotypes in history class. Forms of racism with grave consequences will be explored during the workshop\, in order to give teachers the tools to explain how mechanisms of discrimination and exclusion work and how they can be deconstructed. \nThis workshop offers step-by-step techniques teachers can use to increase students’ awareness of how the pyramid of hate is generated from biased ideas. It will include a discussion of ways teachers can assist students in developing skills to recognize and challenge preconceptions and injustices while studying syllabus contents. The seminar will draw on Harvard Project Zero’s Thinking Routine “Think\, Feel\, Care”\, an approach to visual history that allows looking closely at pictures or other documents during the lesson. \nA discussion of helpful internet sources to implement the topic from Europeana and other databases (Pilecki and Arolsen digital Archives) will also be included\, together with a bibliography of Council of Europe’s educational toolkits ideated to end stereotypes. \n\nEmma Abbate is a teacher of Latin\, History\, and Geography in English since 1998/9\, expert in CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) methodology and Cultural & Linguistic Mediation\, with a Ph.D. in History (University Federico II\, Naples). She teaches in the Cambridge International IGCSE® High School Armando Diaz (Caserta)\, she is author of digital content and free-lance researcher.\n \nEmma cooperates with the University of Naples L’ Orientale as a CLIL teachers’ trainer\, she gained specific expertise in Erasmus+ project management as coordinator of several projects funded by the EU.\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister here!Participation to the webinar series is free for EuroClio members. \nThe participation fee is 30EUR for the full series. \nNot a member yet?

In this series\, a panel of experts was asked to indicate what they believed were the biggest obstacles faced or to be faced by modern societies. Many of them mentioned “the breakdown of trusted sources of information” as one of the most urgent challenges. They argued that\, while the need to figure out which source of information is reliable has been a constant throughout history\, what magnifies the size of this challenge today is the sheer amount of available information\, as well as how people have access it. To this we should add the fact that\, as Kevin Kelly (co-founder of Wired magazine and tech author) said to BBC in the 2017 series: “Truth is no longer dictated by authorities\, but is networked by peers. For every fact there is a counter fact. All those counter facts and facts look identical online\, which is confusing to most people.” And even when mistakes are spotted\, “corrections do not spread very well” (Paul Resnick\, University of Michigan). \nThis can be said for a variety of topics\, including history\, current affairs\, or sensitive and controversial issues. Today\, it is no longer only a matter of who is ‘right’ and who is ‘wrong’. It is first and foremost a matter of what is ‘fake’ and what is ‘real’. \nLuckily\, there are many resources and methodologies out there that can help us develop lesson plans that foster media literacy and critical thinking. During this webinar series\, we will present some that we and the members of our community have tried\, discussing with you their positive aspects\, as well as potential pitfalls. \n\n\nThe Design of this Webinar Series\n\nThe webinar series will begin with a keynote lecture dedicated to defining fake news\, propaganda\, the relationship between the two. During the keynote\, we will also discuss what is the impact of fake news on students\, and how we as educators can equip them with the tools necessary to navigate and evaluate the information they are exposed to. \nThe keynote will help us set the tone for the remaining sessions\, and will be followed by two active workshops. In the first workshop\, we will discuss how media content can be purposefully developed to manipulate the reader\, and how we can help students spot manipulation and become resilient to it. In the second workshop\, we will focus on how to help students deconstruct (historical) examples of propaganda\, how it works\, and what is its effect on society. \nThe webinar series will conclude with interactive discussion groups\, during which participants will have the possibility to discuss their own approaches to propaganda and fake news in the classroom. The fourth session will include also an official\, festive\, closing in the form of an educational game. \n\n\nWhat will we learn?\n\nDuring the webinar series\, we will: \n• Engage in a dialogue about Fake-News\, Propaganda\, and their impact on (history) education.\n• Obtain a historical perspective to the notion of ‘Fake’ in Europe.\n• Share educational initiatives and equip teachers with ready-to-use material and methodologies which contribute in teaching media literacy and promoting students’ critical thinking.\n• Discuss how to equip students with tools to help them navigate the stream of information they are constantly exposed to\, become more resilient to the effects of propaganda\, and grow into active citizens in the democratic space.\n• Exchange innovative tools\, methods\, and professional knowledge with other educators in Europe and beyond.\n• Introduce history and citizenship educators to the educational material developed by the House of European History\, which is also available on Historiana.eu \n  \n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”Tribe__Events__List_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Button_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n[siteorigin_widget class=”PW_Icon_Box”][/siteorigin_widget]\n[siteorigin_widget class=”PW_Icon_Box”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\nParticipation Fees\n\nParticipation to this webinar series is free of charge \n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\n\nWe would like to thank our Individual Members for their support in developing this webinar series. The topic has been selected based on input from all members\, and the recordings of our sessions are (partially) supported through individual membership fees.

They will consider how the intended audience for a piece of propaganda shapes how it is produced and presented. They will categorise and analyse some sources which are propaganda from World War I. They will then identify for themselves some examples of modern propaganda and compare them to the definitions and the propaganda from 1914-18 to assess the similarities and differences between the historic and the contemporary. They will produce a short ‘how to?’ guide to present to younger students to demonstrate their learning. \n  \nAbout Helen Snelson \nHelen Snelson is a EuroClio ambassador and the Curriculum Area Leader for the Secondary History Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) course. She is a member of the Historiana Teaching and Learning Team. Helen Snelson is an experienced education trainer and secondary school teacher.

Politics is the instrument and the form of these adjustments. Politics in a democracy gives citizens the opportunity to get involved in the processes of change or to take them into their own hands. What opportunities does a democracy offer? How do changes or adjustments happen? Where does resistance come from and how can it be understood or overcome? In the session ‘Engagement and Activism’\, participants will get to know an exciting instrument that helps them and their students to observe and understand processes of change\, but also helps young people to become active and get involved themselves. \n  \nAbout the workshop host \nRolf Gollob\, Prof. Dr. h.c.\, was founder and co-head of the Department International Projects in Education (IPE) at Zurich University of Teacher Education from 2007 – 2018. Initially he has worked as a primary teacher before he studied Cultural Anthropology at the University of Zurich and then became lecturer at the Zurich University of Teacher Education. For the last 25 years\, he worked at this University in the area of democracy and intercultural education and has been a consultant in a global context focusing on teacher training\, issues of competence-orientation in schools and higher education institutions\, text book and curriculum development. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is now open. \n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Button_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\nParticipation Fees\n\nParticipation to the webinar series is free for all EuroClio Individual Members\, as well as for Members of our Member Associations. \nIf you are not a Member\, you can register to single sessions for a fee of 15 EUR\, or register to the full series for 35 EUR. \nWould you like to become an Individual Member? Register here. \nNot sure if you would like to join the full series?

DESCRIPTION:Workshop hosted by dr. Bjorn Wansink (Utrecht University\, Dynamics of Youth) and Maxine Herinx (Utrecht University)\n\nTeaching history or social sciences is a challenge nowadays. The world is polarized. We are confronted with terrorist attacks\, pandemics and unstable global politics and all these events have great consequences for many. Uncertainty caused by these crises can lead to heightened distrust of others with different cultural or political backgrounds; it also can make people more conformist and people’s moral judgements can become harsher.  \nIn this workshop we will discuss how teachers can respond to polarizing narratives and can balance between essential democratic rights\, such as: freedom of speech and the right not to be discriminated. We consider schools as labs for democracy in which students can learn to disagree and learn to deal and act with different opinions harmoniously. During discussions\, students can learn how to express disagreement with each other\, within the boundaries of respect and moral decency towards each other. As John Dewey said: “Democrats are made\, not born”. For example: how to discuss confronting and discriminatory memes in the classroom? \nAbout the workshop host \nThis workshop is given by dr. Bjorn Wansink (Utrecht University\, Dynamics of Youth) and Maxine Herinx (Utrecht University). \nBoth trainers are part of the project TerInfo. TerInfo is a mobile web platform aimed to increase societal resilience against terrorism and other disruptive events in primary\, secondary\, and post-vocational education. The platform helps teachers to discuss controversial topics with groups of different ages in a clear\, factual\, responsible and engaging way. TerInfo is an initiative of Utrecht University and led by prof. Beatrice de Graaf.  \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is now open. \n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Button_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\nParticipation Fees\n\nParticipation to the webinar series is free for all EuroClio Individual Members\, as well as for Members of our Member Associations. \nIf you are not a Member\, you can register to single sessions for a fee of 15 EUR\, or register to the full series for 35 EUR. \nWould you like to become an Individual Member? Register here. \nNot sure if you would like to join the full series?

But\, most importantly\, how can we discuss these and more key questions about democracy with our students?. \nAs the world celebrates the International Day of Democracy on 15 September\, we will kick off our webinar series on “A Resilient Promise: Teaching the Fragility of Democracy”. During 6 weeks of online events\, we  will reflect not only on how to help our students learn about democracy\, but also how they can contribute to making it more stable and safe. \n\n\nThe Design of this Webinar Series\n\nThe series will consist of five sessions. It will kick off with a keynote on the allure of authoritarianism and on modern populism\, hosted by Prof. Takis S Pappas\, which will help us set the tone for future sessions by putting us in touch with first-hand experience of individuals who were part of extremist groups in their youth\, what appealed to them\, and how did they decide to leave this path and promote democracy and\nunderstanding. The keynote lecture will take place on 15 September 2021 at 17:00 (Amsterdam Time)\, and it will be followed by three active workshops. Each workshop will give participants practical advice and access to tools to promote: \n\nHow to balance between conflicting democratic rights when discussing controversy?\nThis workshop will be hosted by Dr. Bjorn Wansink and the team of TerInfo\, and will take place on 30 September 2021 at 16:00 (Amsterdam Time).\nAn understanding of the history of democracy. This workshop will be hosted by Gijs van Gaans\, and is inspired by the eLearning Activity on “What can we learn from the Ancient Greeks for democracy today?”. It will take place on 11 October 2021 at 17:00 (Amsterdam Time).\nEngagement and Activism.

This session will be focused on how to use assessment as a tool to improve the learning process. In addition\, we will focus also on how to keep the assessment process open enough\, so that students can understand the benefits? In other words\, how to not treat formative assessment as a secret. \nThis session will be pre-recorded by EuroClio and published on our YouTube channel on 28 July 2021. \n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”Tribe__Events__List_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\n\n\n\nWould you like to be notified once the video will be uploaded? \n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Button_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\n\nWe would like to thank our Individual Members for their support in developing this webinar series. The topic has been selected based on input from all members\, and the recordings of our sessions are (partially) supported through individual membership fees. \nIf you would like to see more webinar series like this\, please consider joining us as Individual Member!

Assessing Assessment DESCRIPTION:A EuroClio Webinar Series on Assessment\n\nIf there is one thing that we at EuroClio have learned during the past few years\, it is that assessment is a rather complex and multifaceted part of (history and citizenship) education\, and that not all teachers feel equipped for and comfortable to assess their students when it comes to formative assessment in the context of topics that might be controversial or sensitive for some of them (see\, for example\, the Needs Assessment carried out in 2017-2018 within the Learning to Disagree Project). At the same time\, during the plenary workshop on assessment that took place in November 2020\, all participants agreed that assessment is a key part of (history and citizenship) education. \nMany things affect how assessment may be followed out\, such as time constraints\, diverse classrooms\, online formats and the space left for skills and competences. How to carry out assessment in order to benefit the learning process of each individual student? \nThis webinar series\, blending pre-recorded and live sessions\, will try to tackle some of these topics\, to kick-start a discussion on where we stand when it comes to assessment\, and how we can develop new approaches to assessment that are better suited to fulfil not only our needs as educators\, but also our students’ needs. \n\n\nA very special blended format\n\nThe ‘Assessment’ webinar series consists of seven sessions\, taking place in the summer of 2021\, starting July 13 until August 25. The first session will be held live on zoom\, followed by four pre-recorded\, practical sessions which will be periodically uploaded on our Youtube page. Everything will be followed by a live keynote lecture and a live closing session\, where participants will have the possibility to meet the speakers and to share their own experiences. The programme will open with a session on the relationship between creativity and assessment. During this session\, we will also explore the connections between state exams and the creativity of students and teachers. During the following four pre-recorded sessions\, assessment will be looked at from different perspectives\, while providing tips and tricks for good practices. \nParticipants will be presented tools and methodologies to: \n\nUnderstand the ethical implications of assessing values and attitudes;\nCarry out formative assessment online;\nUsing formative assessment to update the learning process;\nUse the Council of Europe “butterfly” (1) in developing their assessment plan;\nUse rubrics for differentiated assessment;\nPromote open assessment practices. \n\nThe pre-recorded sessions will be followed by a keynote lecture on the ethical implications of assessing values and attitudes. The keynote lecture will be hosted by Prof. TAN Oon Seng (Centre for Research in Child Development (CRCD) at the Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore). Followed by this\, a short Q&A session will take place\, as well as an opportunity for participants to share their initial thoughts and hopes about the coming sessions.  \nThe series will end with an live interactive session\, where participants will discuss their thoughts about the dedicated sessions with their peers and the designated speakers. Participants will also have an opportunity to share their personal reflections\, tips and insights on assessment.  \n\n\nWhat will you learn?\n\nDuring the webinar series\, you will: \n\nUnderstand the role that attitudes and values play in learning about historical events and how to consider these in assessment;\nInvestigate the tensions between central exams\, curriculum constraints\, and assessing skills and competences;\nExchange experiences and thoughts about victories and failures of assessment practices;\nLearn about formative assessment as a way to update learning to promote positive development. \n\n  \n  \n(1) In 2016\, the Council of Europe issued the “Competences for Democratic Culture”\, a document which highlights various competences and skills that we should help our students develop to be active and engaged citizens. The butterfly the “butterfly” is a visual organizer that shows what the Competences for Democratic Culture are. \n\n\n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Button_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\n\nBy registering\, you will be added to a mailing list which will receive the links to join the live sessions\, as well as direct links\, updates\, and additional material (if applicable) every time a pre-recorded session is made available online. \nParticipation to this series is free of charge. \n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”PW_Icon_Box”][/siteorigin_widget]\n[siteorigin_widget class=”PW_Icon_Box”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\nContact us!\n\nDo you want to know more about this webinar series?
