SUMMARY:Virtual Discussion - “75 Years Since: How We Remember World War II in Europe”
DESCRIPTION:On 2 September 2020\, the world is marking the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II (WWII). The war remains one of the most painful and conflicting episodes of the European nations’ memories. Many current conflicts are embedded in history and in the use of history as a political tool. \nOn May 2020\, the EU-Russia Civil Society Forum released a short film – “Clash of Memories: 75 Years after the End of WWII in Europe”. The film deals with historical memory and different modes of remembrance in Germany\, Poland and Russia. \nTaking the film as a starting point\, the speakers will seek answers to the following questions: \n\nWhat are the main narratives of remembrance surrounding WWII in different European countries? Who are the major actors in the process of commemoration?\nHow does the clash of memories emerge? In which way do the current conflicts of memories relate to each other?\nHow is the topic reflected in history school education? Is a unified history (textbook) possible?\nWhat can be done to resolve these conflicts deriving from the historical past?\n\n\n\n\nAll participants are encouraged to actively contribute to the discussion and share their thoughts and narratives from their own countries. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n Jörg Morré\, German-Russian Museum Berlin-Karlshorst (Germany)\nAlexandra Polivanova\, International Memorial (Russia)\nJan Szkudliński\, historian\, former specialist at the Museum of World War II (Poland)\n\n\nModerator: \n\nSteven Stegers\, EuroClio (the Netherlands)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe discussion will take place on 2 September 2020\, 4pm – 6pm\, via Zoom. The language of the discussion is English\, no interpretation will be provided. \n\n\n\nTo register click here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nThe EU-Russia Civil Society Forum was established in 2011 by non-governmental organisations as a permanent common platform. At the moment\, 183 NGOs from Russia and the European Union are members or supporters of the Forum. It aims at developing the cooperation of civil society organisations from both Russia and the EU\, and greater participation of NGOs in the EU-Russia dialogue. The Forum has been actively involved\, inter alia\, in the question of Visa facilitation agreements\, the development of civic participation\, the protection of the environment and human rights\, as well as dealing with history and civic education. \n\n\n\n\nTo watch the short film “Clash of Memories: 75 Years after the End of WWII in Europe” please click here. The film is a follow-up of the Touring Exhibition “Different Wars: National School Textbooks on World War II”\, which was shown in 2016-2019 in 20 cities and towns in EU member states\, Belarus and Russia. \n\n\n\n\n\nSupported by:

SUMMARY:Conference Report: “30 years of Jean Monnet Activities: Why study the European Union today?” Brussels\, 18 June 2019
DESCRIPTION:30 years ago Jacqueline Lastenouse-Bury\, Director of the European Commission\, initiated the Jean Monnet Actions\, with focus on the study on the EU[i]. This programme developed over time\, became more and more interdisciplinary and truly transnational running activities in almost 100 countries\, many far beyond the European Union\, but with a visible exclusion of the African continent. The programme of the event explored with Jean Monnet Professors\, students\, journalists and policy makers the past\, present and future of the programme. \nThe programme concentrated from the start on Academic Teaching\, it was amazing to notice how little thought was given to the need for education on the European Union in Teacher Training\, School education and Non- and In-Formal Education. Even during the meeting the Jean Monnet Chairs seemed to be reluctant to embrace the need to broaden the programme. Teacher Education and Non-academic Education were still very far from their reality\, as among the career opportunities for European Studies possible jobs in these fields were not mentioned. \nThe student speakers in the event gave evidence that being part of the programme was much more than only learning about the EU. They personally experienced the importance of cross-border approaches in study fields as law\, international relations\, diplomacy\, economy and history and consequently felt inspired to become engaged in extra-curricular\, civil society activities. \nHowever change is coming. Commissioner for Education\, Culture\, Youth and Sport\, Tibor Navracsics announced in his opening speech that he has asked for a double budget for the Jean Monnet Activities after 2020 and opts broadening the programme to school education. During the panel on the future of the programme it became clear that such adjustment was welcomed by several panellists. \nEuroClio has been working on teaching about European and EU History. Bob Stradling wrote a rationale for the first Decisions and Dilemmas\, which has become a key reference for all the work on teaching about Europe. \nThe Historiana Unit Changing Europe is the main result of this work with resources developed in different projects. It is looking at the challenges that the EU was facing once it was created and the dilemmas that decision makers were facing when balancing European and national interests. Topics covered are: Economic imbalances\, the EU as a Global Power\, Energy Dependency\, Borders\, Foreign Policy\, Defence\, Trade and Agriculture and food security.  Some of the materials is available in different languages. \nA short history of the European Union and a multi-stranded timeline are produced by Francesco Scatigna. These tools help to put the history of the EU in its historical perspective and demonstrate how the European Project was different from previous initiatives to create stability in Europe \nEuroClio has offered professional development trainings on the materials. A thematic seminar “Teaching European Integration. How and why?\, on 22-24 November 2019 at the House of European History in Brussels is currently organised. \nAn elaborate research report based on the analysis of history textbooks in all 28 EU member states was carried out by EuroClio in partnership with the Universitat Pompeu Fabra of Barcelona involving history educators from all EU member states. In its conclusions it considers this report as a first step to raise awareness on the importance of history education on the European Union for young people and societies as a whole. The new Jean Monnet Programme might enable further action with its focus on school education. \nI was happy to have been invited for this interesting event on an important programme but was struck by its lack of diversity and inclusivity\, currently a key issue in current EU Affairs. The programme was still quite male dominant and there were neither speakers representing the Scandinavian Member States nor the new EU Members after 2004 or representatives of any minority or migrant community. Also issues the future Jean Monnet programme should address. \n[i] https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/opportunities/jean-monnet_en \n  \nJoke van der Leeuw –Roord\, historian and founding President\, Special Advisor and former Executive Director of EuroClio

SUMMARY:How can Europe Help the Balkans Consume its History?
DESCRIPTION:It is often said that Winston Churchill believed that “the Balkans produces more history than it can consume.” Besides the fact that this quote is incorrectly attributed to him\, and that it was originally made in reference to Crete\, it nevertheless resonates very well with all those involved in the promotion of responsible history education in this region. There is a visible difficulty for the established public and political cultures to refrain from using historical interpretations and concepts as divisive tools\, or worse – using history as a weapon. But\, what does it actually mean when a society ‘consumes’ history? And if we acknowledge that ’dealing with the past’\, ’facing history’\, ’overcoming’ and so on entail the proper ‘consumption’ of the past\, which history should be dealt with\, by whom and how?  \nOn 18 December 2017 EuroClio will be opening the debate on these difficult questions by organising the one-day conference How Can Europe Help the Balkans Consume its History? \, hosted by the House of European History in Brussels. This day event will be organised by  (EuroClio) and the Centre for Democracy and Reconciliation in South East Europe (CDRSEE)\, in partnership with the International Students of History Association (ISHA).  \nThe conference envisages lively debates with selected international guests reflecting the most pressing issues and challenges related to history education in the region. We expect to have thoughtful conversations about the reality of teaching sensitive history and the needs of the teachers which are faced with such a challenge. The discussions will be based on new research that was presented in the joint position paper on how to deal with the 1990s Yugoslav Wars in the classroom and the collected evidence base with needs for educational transformation.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[su_button url=”https://goo.gl/forms/AB88s9e4hVjVK1Ba2″ target=”blank” style=”flat” background=”#00AB44″ size=”12″ wide=”yes” center=”yes” radius=”3″]REGISTER[/su_button] \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOWNLOADS\n\n	Preliminary Programme\n\n\n\n\nCO-ORGANISED BY\n\n  \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\nHOSTED BY

SUMMARY:"Learning Local Football Histories: A Tool for Social Inclusion?" Seminar in Rotterdam
DESCRIPTION:This Saturday – 21 October – EuroClio will host a seminar at Erasmus University Rotterdam as part of the ongoing project\, “Football. A People’s History of Europe”\, which takes the history of football as a lens through which to explore wider historical themes in an accessible manner. The seminar is part of the Football People action weeks\, funded by the FARE Network and participants will have the opportunity to share experiences of using football to teach history and explore possibilities for closer cooperation building on existing initiatives. \nThe aim of the seminar is to present EuroClio’s common framework for creating educational resources that relate to local football history\, as well as the existing practices which harness the unique potential of football history to reach out to young learners. It will feature a group of professionals from relevant fields\, including history teachers\, sports journalists\, and football historians\, thus creating a diverse and active network that can further develop the intermingling of local football history and history education beyond the event.

SUMMARY:A Multiperspective Understanding of the Past: The Elephant in the Room of Diverse Societies?
DESCRIPTION:Dealing with sensitive histories through intercultural dialogue\n\nDutch society is diverse\, and Dutch citizens express in everyday life their multiple identities and perspectives. However\, Dutch society has also seen plenty of controversy when a one-sided view on history and heritage has inflamed public debate. We need to get to the root causes of this kind of conflict\, radicalisation and polarisation. Could people’s interpretations of the past be one of these root causes? \nWhereas every society has its own peculiar struggle with ‘dealing with the past’\, there is an emerging understanding of common challenges. \nOn the 14th of July\, the symposium “The Past: The Elephant in the Room of Diverse Societies?” will bring together views and experiences of civil society activists\, including educators\, cultural workers\, and engaged citizens\, from The Netherlands\, as well as Bosnia-Herzegovina\, India\, Lebanon and Ukraine. \nWhat can you expect?\nWe will start the day with a critical look at Dutch society from the perspective of an outsider and an insider\, introducing relevant debates surrounding the Golden Coach and Black Pete controversies. Dr. Timothy Ryback\, contributor to The New Yorker and director of the Institute of Historical Justice and Reconciliation\, will share his view on the ethics of facing historical legacies of the past. In particular\, the discussion will address difficult issues of identity\, belonging\, and polarisation. It is clear from the public debate in The Netherlands that radically opposing views on these matters challenge social cohesion. \nGlobal perspectives\, including those from Colombia\, Croatia and South Africa\, will be introduced by leading history educators who have traveled across the world to share their experiences and gain new insights. Their personal and professional journeys demonstrate the difficult nature of dealing with the past in divided\, post-conflict societies. Often the recent\, violent past has directly and immediately impacted their lives. How have they transformed their experiences into a catalyst for positive change? \nThe afternoon will explore in practical terms how civil society initiatives are finding ways to address sensitive histories for a range of societal purposes\, including reconciliation\, intercultural dialogue and social cohesion. \nWe hope to meet you during our symposium and to learn from one another\, in the Netherlands and across the world\, whether we are frank enough about the elephant in the room. \nThe symposium is organised by EuroClio – Inspiring History and Citizenship Educators\, the Anna Lindh Foundation Netherlands Network and the Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation\, and the event is made possible by the generosity of the Robert Bosch Foundation and Konferentie Nederlandse Religieuzen. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\nDate: Friday\, 14 July 2017 @ 09.30 Location: Mandeville building Erasmus University Thomas Morelaan\, 3062 PA Rotterdam \nThere is no fee for this symposium. A lunch will be provided. \nRSVP NOW \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n09.30 Welcome \n10.00 Panel discussion: “Sensitive history in the Netherlands” \n11.45 Panel discussion: “Dealing with the past: a global perspective” \n13.00 Lunch \n14.00 First round of workshops \n15.30 Second round of workshops \n16.45 Conclusions\, reflections and closing remarks \n17.30 Drinks \nProgramme – Symposium 14 July 2017
