SUMMARY:International Symposium - Untold Histories: Sinti and Roma in Our Classrooms
DESCRIPTION:Co-hosted by EuroClio and department Social Work of The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS)\, this event will bring together teachers\, educators\, policymakers\, community members and students to explore approaches in educating about the histories of Sinti\, Roma and other related groups. \nSinti and Roma are the largest pan-European ethnic minority. Yet the past of Sinti and Roma is rarely part of history lessons. The result is that pupils of Roma and Sinti heritage may not encounter their past in history classrooms\, while myths and stereotypes are allowed to continue in the minds of the majority populations. There are a number of reasons why educators might shy away from these histories: A lack of knowledge about the pasts of these communities; a lack of cultural understanding leading to avoidance of what could be seen as a sensitive or emotional topic; or simply because they may be very short on time due to curricular constraints.  \nThis symposium will highlight why the inclusion of Roma and Sinti histories is important\, both in a Dutch and European context. It will additionally present concrete ideas for inclusive teaching strategies and lesson plans. The symposium will feature a plenary session with roundtable discussions\, followed by interactive workshops showcasing inclusive educational approaches as well as a city walk highlighting places of relevance to the Roma and Sinti communities in The Hague. The city walk will be organised and led by students at THUAS who have taken the minor ‘Inclusivity in the City’ along with members of the Sinti and Roma communities in The Hague. Connecting the local histories of Sinti and Roma in The Hague and the Netherlands with a larger European context\, the Symposium will aim to inspire dialogue and inclusion of marginalised historical narratives in education.  \nAdmission: €20. Ticket includes coffee breaks\, lunch and drinks. Admission is free for students and retirees.  \nNote that registrations close on Monday 22 September \nProgrammeRegister

SUMMARY:Voices of the “New World”: Testimonies and commentaries of the Latin American conquest
DESCRIPTION:About the topic\nWell-known historical texts\, such as the late 17th-century chronicles of the newly established viceroyalties of Mexico and Peru\, have remained the primary sources for establishing a long-lasting Eurocentric perspective regarding the representation of the Indigenous peoples across the Americas. This lecture will provide an overview of Latin America’s colonial period to illuminate diverse regional voices\, such as the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega\, that respond to the Spanish and Portuguese occupation of their lands. 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. 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!\n22 November 2023: Independence and Decolonisation in Latin America: The case of Paraguay\, 1800-1870\n14 December 2023: Latin American history from the independence until today\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. Click here to learn more about how to become a member! \nREGISTER NOW!

SUMMARY:Challenging Stereotypes and Preconceptions - Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:About the webinar series:\n \nEuroClio\, the European Association of History Educators\, is an international Non-governmental organisation that promotes the development of responsible and innovative history\, citizenship\, and heritage education by promoting critical thinking\, multiperspectivity\, mutual respect\, and inclusion. \n\n\nTogether\, we will welcome between 30 and 50 motivated history and citizenship educators from all across Europe for a series of five live sessions. 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?

SUMMARY:Fragility of Democracy - Workshop on "Engagement and Activism"
DESCRIPTION:Workshop hosted by Prof. Dr. Rolf Gollob\, Zurich University of Teacher Education.\n\nDemocracy thrives on change and adaptation to current living conditions. 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?

SUMMARY:A Resilient Promise: Teaching the Fragility of Democracy
DESCRIPTION:“What are the challenges that democracy is facing today?”; “How can we deal with these challenges?”; “Why\, regardless of them\, is democracy worth fighting for?”. 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 workshop will be hosted by Prof. Dr. Rolf Gollob (Zurich University of Teacher Education)\, and will take place on 19 October 2021 at 17:00 (Amsterdam Time).\n\nTeachers as Changemakers: The webinar series will close with an interactive session where participants will have the opportunity to share the obstacles they encounter when talking about democracy in their classroom\, and to discuss approaches on how to overcome these obstacles. This session is currently set to take place on 27 October 2021 at 17:00 (Amsterdam Time). \nThe dates are confirmed\, and you can already register to this workshop by clicking on the button on the right! \n\n\nWhat will we learn?\n\nDuring the webinar series\, we will: \n\nDiscuss how different generations may view democracy;\nDiscuss the role that expressing extreme viewpoints has in the classroom;\nDiscuss best practices for Teachers as Changemakers.;\nInvestigate the different democratic activities that are available for young people;\nBe introduced to tips and tricks to lead debates involving contrasting points of view;\nDiscuss your experiences regarding the challenges that non-democratic systems pose for the future.\n\n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”Tribe__Events__List_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is now open. \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 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?

SUMMARY:Pass or Fail? 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?

SUMMARY:FC EuroClio: Passing it to the Classroom - A Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Some would say football is nothing more than 22 people chasing a ball around a pitch for 90 minutes. Those people are not necessarily wrong\, but history is made up of whatever people have come to value\, and certainly football – a game played and watched by billions for over 100 years – seems highly valued. \nSport – and particularly football – appeals to millions of Europeans\, regardless of their sexual orientation\, colour\, gender\, age\, nationality or religion\, often becoming a defining factor of identities and communities. Football history is made up of millions of stories\, of individuals and communities\, of movements and processes\, which can open doors to the conversations we need to have in the present\, as it helps to promote shared values\, equality\, non-discrimination and social inclusion. \nWe are proud to launch our webinar series and thematic month on football history & education. \n\n\nThe design of this webinar series\n\n“FC EuroClio” will consist of three online sessions\, taking place on three consecutive Fridays (28/05\, 04/06\, 11/06). It will open with a Panel Discussion on the Social Significance of Sport. The panel discussion will bring forward voices from various fields\, including academia\, journalism\, heritage\, education\, and football. The Panel Discussion will be followed by parallel workshops on how football history can be used in the classroom\, with examples on how to use it to teach about what is “identity”\, the rise of fascism and anti-Semitism in Europe\, and changing borders in continental Europe in 1800 and 1900.\nThe webinar series will end with an interactive session\, during which we will look into how the life stories of (extra)ordinary people can be used to spark discussion in the classroom\, and collectively design new life stories. \n\n\nWhat will you learn?\n\nDuring the webinar series\, you will: \n● Learn examples that address the history of rising fascism and anti-Semitism in Europe\, and the formation of the European nation state in the XIX and XX\ncentury;\n● Discuss the social significance of sports\, and whether there is a space for sport in the classroom\, with colleagues from across Europe;\n● Discuss your experiences in using sports to teach history with colleagues from across Europe;\n● Learn more about the Football Makes History project and its results. \n\n\nFootball Makes History\n\nThe ‘Football Makes History‘ project started in September 2018 with the purpose to bring football history to the classroom to: \n● Promote diversity\, non-discrimination and equality\, including gender equality;\n● Promote social\, civic and intercultural competencies and critical thinking;\n● Engage cultural heritage by accessing the histories\, memories and legacies residing in football history in transnational perspectives\, both at local and national level;\n● Raise public awareness on the role of learning for social inclusion and increase the sharing of innovative practices across the continent. \nCheck out the dedicated website: you’ll find inspiring stories\, videos and innovative educational resources. \n\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. \nPlease register to the entire series even if you wish to attend only one session. \n\n\nContact us!\n\nWould you like more information on the webinar series? \nPlease\, reach out at secretariat@euroclio.eu with the subject line “football makes history”. We will be in contact as soon as possible. \n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”WP_Widget_Media_Image”][/siteorigin_widget]

SUMMARY:Decolonising History - Workshop on "Tackling the textbook: recognising and rethinking colonial narratives"
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Tom Allen\n\nThe concept of a school history curriculum has its origins in 19th century ideas of progress and national pride. This can have implications for the historical narrative we impart\, often subconsciously\, to our students. Teachers in many different countries are now recognising the need to teach our students about empire\, but the way we present this story is important too. \nThe aim of this session is to unpack the story our textbooks tell about European empires in the 19th century\, and enable you to recognise potential problems with the materials you use. We will analyse anonymised extracts from textbooks used in a range of different countries (you are encouraged to bring your own examples to the session). The session will also offer practical advice on how a fuller picture can be presented to the students – without the need to throw away the textbook! \nAbout Tom Allen \nTom Allen is Head of History at a comprehensive school in Bath\, UK. He has recently been working with textbook publishers in the UK to reconsider the way colonial history is presented. In September 2021 he is moving to Germany to begin working at an international school. \n\n\n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Button_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\nParticipation Fee\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 60 EUR. \nWould you like to become an Individual Member? Register here. \n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”WP_Widget_Media_Image”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\n\n\n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”Tribe__Events__List_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]

SUMMARY:Decolonising History - Workshop on 'Making a difference: Learning to Recognise and Interrupt Personal Biases in the Curriculum and Classroom'
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Dr. Kay Traille\n\nThis workshop focuses on the way bias plays a major role in perpetuating inequity and influences the how and what we teach repeatedly to the detriment of marginalized students. Biases in the curriculum and our teaching such as omission and fragmentation bias\, textbooks\, and cosmetic bias are frequently endemic in education.  Learning the origins of historical racial bias explicit and implicit are key in understanding how biases function consciously and unconsciously in education. The role that Stereotypes play in terms of how information is processed by the brain and how this often leads to domination and division are investigated. We uncover how sources of implicit bias\, the media\, past experiences\, and cultural exposure weave a tangled web and entrap us if we fail to notice the danger. \nThrough a better understanding of the science behind implicit bias and how this coupled with explicit biases function and flourish in education\, educators will have a better grasp of these slippery and complex terms and how to interrupt their own personal and often unseen\, unnoticed and unrecognized biases. Understanding this will help educators identify how biases influence and impact diverse students in terms of the Achievement\, Opportunity\, Learning\, and Discipline Gaps. \nIdentifying strategies that interrupt such biases are explored.  And we learn why incorporating these strategies into our practice can make a difference in our schools in terms of more equitable and inclusive learning curricula and environments for all students. \nAbout Dr. Kay Traille \n \nDr. Kay Traille is an associate professor of History Education and History at Kennesaw State University. She has been teaching and mentoring for several decades in the field. Originally from the United Kingdom\, she moved to the USA in 2007. She continues writing and researching in the field of teaching controversial issues and issues concerning students of color and the teaching of history. Dr. Kay Traille is the author of ‘Hearing their voices: Teaching History to Students of Color’ and ‘Teaching History to Black Students in the United Kingdom’. \n  \n\n\n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Button_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\nParticipation Fee\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 60 EUR. \nWould you like to become an Individual Member? Register here. \n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”WP_Widget_Media_Image”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\n\n\n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”Tribe__Events__List_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]

SUMMARY:Decolonising History - Workshop on "How do you decolonise history?"
DESCRIPTION:Workshop hosted by David Rawlings\, University of Bristol\, and by members of CARGO\n\nThis workshop will explore the process of decolonising the history we teach\, the challenges involved and the principles that can guide our practice. The workshop will compromise two parts. In the first half\, attendees will be introduced to the principles behind the CARGO classroom initiative and use these to explore the question of how to decolonise the history classroom. \nIn the second half\, attendees will reflect on the challenges that we are faced with when we attempt to decolonise the history we teach\, hearing the testimonies from history teachers working with the CARGO classroom initiative\, and explore what changes we can make to our own practice to teach more decolonised histories. \n  \nAbout the workshop hosts \nDavid Rawlings is Senior Lecturer in History Education at the University of Bristol. He is subject lead for the History PGCE course and advises a number of organisations and publishers on the inclusivity and diversity of their history education materials\, including how they can deliver more decolonised histories. \nCARGO (Charting African Resilience Generating Opportunities) is a collective of artists\, poets and filmmakers\, led by Lawrence Hoo and Charles Goulding\, from across the globe with a single-minded vision to address the balance of accessible narratives from the African diaspora. The CARGO classroom initiative aims to address the narratives that are missing from the history that is taught in schools across the UK\, including the perspectives of individuals of African and African Diaspora descent and the recognition of their resilience\, contributions and visionary leadership: CARGO© (cargomovement.org). \n\n\n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Button_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\nParticipation Fee\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 60 EUR. \nWould you like to become an Individual Member? Register here. \n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”WP_Widget_Media_Image”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\n\n\n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”Tribe__Events__List_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]

SUMMARY:Decolonising History - Keynote Lecture on "Decolonising the Curriculum: an introduction"
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Prof. Peter D’Sena\n\nIn 2015\, students at the University of Cape Town called for the statue of Cecil Rhodes\, the nineteenth-century British coloniser\, to be removed from their campus. Their clarion call\, in this quick spreading #RhodesMustFall movement\, was that for diversity\, inclusion and social justice to become a lived reality\, the full gamut of educational provision should be challenged\, and schools and universities decolonised. Concerns had long been voiced by both academics and students about curricula dominated by white\, capitalist\, heterosexist\, western worldviews at the expense of the experiences and discourses of those not perceiving themselves as fitting into those mainstream categories. However\, for change to happen\, the dominant and deeply embedded Eurocentric knowledge and values systems underpinning the curriculum had to be transformed in order to take better account of cultural diversity and multiperspectivity. Moreover\, institutional and structural change was also necessary: tuition fees should fall\, and the recruitment\, retention and outcomes for all students and staff should be equitable\, rather than serving to reproduce ‘white privilege’. \nThis inter-active\, inter-subjective presentation provides an introduction to the debates about the decolonising the curriculum movement; it explores its relevance for equity and social justice; and asks participants to reflect on their own practise and consider ways in which they can begin to create a personal strategy for change. \n  \nAbout Peter D’Sena \nPeter D’Sena is Associate Professor of  Learning and Teaching at the University of Hertfordshire and a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Historical Research. His key contributions to history education are borne from his enduring commitment\, over four decades\, to equality and inclusion. As a writer of the revised National Curriculum in the late 1990s he championed the introduction of black history; now he continues to lecture and write on decolonising the curriculum. As the HEA’s National Lead for History he organised the revision of the QAA Benchmark Statement and created innovative resources for those ‘New to Teaching’. He is a fellow of the Historical Association\, a principal fellow of the HEA and last year he was elected to be the first President of SoTL’s European branch for History. Professor D’Sena is also Vice-President and Chair of Education Policy Committee at the Royal Historical Association. \n\n\n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Button_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\nParticipation Fee\n\nParticipation to the Keynote Lecture is free of charge \n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”WP_Widget_Media_Image”][/siteorigin_widget]\n\n\n\n\n[siteorigin_widget class=”Tribe__Events__List_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]

SUMMARY:Decolonising History - A webinar series
DESCRIPTION:Have you been wondering how to teach about colonialism without resorting to a narrative of victims and perpetrators? Or how to account for the impact of colonialism on history curricula? Would you like to know more about recognising your own biases? \nFollowing the killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests sparked across the world\,  we have been asking ourselves these questions. \nWe are proud to launch our webinar series and thematic month on ‘decolonising history’ during which we will tackle these key questions for history educators today. \n\n\nThe design of this webinar series\n\nThe webinar series will take place over a six weeks period in Spring 2021 (starting 16 April 2021 with regular sessions until 18 May 2021). The programme will open with an icebreaker on the use of popular culture to decolonise history\, in which participants will have the opportunity to get to know each other and to collect ideas and resources to teach about the colonial past with popular culture. The icebreaker will be followed by a keynote lecture. This lecture\, hosted by prof. Peter D’Sena\, will help participants reflect on what do “decolonising history” and “decolonising the curriculum” mean\, as well as what kind of actions this entails. The keynote will be followed by four hands on workshop\, which will provide teachers with tools to effectively talk about colonialism and its legacies in the classroom. Participants will be presented tools and methodologies to: \n\nTeach about racism and the colonial past of a country.\nRecognise their own biases when it comes to sensitive topics\, hosted by Dr. Kay Traille.\nTalk about contested cultural heritage and its links with the colonial past of a country.\nDiscuss with students how to unpack what our textbooks tell about European empires in the 19th century.\n\nThe series will close with a feed forward and exchange session\, in which participants will have the opportunity to share reflections\, insights\, tips and tricks on decolonising history\, building onto the questions raised during the keynote lecture and the knowledge acquired throughout the series. \n\n\nWhat will you learn?\n\nDuring the webinar series\, you will: \n\nExchange experiences on teaching about colonialism in your local/national context with other educators\, as well as on how colonialism and its legacies are perceived by society.\nUnderstand how colonialism has influenced historical narratives and the development of the history curriculum.\nAcquire skills and knowledge on how to teach about colonialism and its long-term legacy.\nLearn how to recognise and address your and your students’ biases.\nLearn how to find and use diverse\, inclusive\, and representative sources.\n\n\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 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 60 EUR. \nWould you like to become an Individual Member?

How and Why?”\, do not hesitate to contact Alice Modena. \n\n\nIn collaboration with\n\n \nHouse of European History \n\n\n\n\n\n*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT AND THAT REGISTRATIONS ARE NO LONGER POSSIBLE*  \nTo register your interest in future editions of this training course\, please write to Alice Modena: alice@euroclio.eu \nWe are delighted and honoured to present the Training Seminar “Teaching European Integration. How and Why?”. The Training\, which is the first training organised by EuroClio and the House of European History\, will take place in Brussels\, Belgium\, from 22-24 November 2019. \nThe House of European History is a museum and learning forum established in Brussels with the support of the European Parliament. It aims at promoting the knowledge of the history of the European Union\, as well as the understanding that there are multiple perspectives connected to it. Together\, we will welcome 20 motivated history and citizenship educators from all across Europe. We will offer a programme full of active workshops\, keynote lectures\, feedback sessions and visits to the House of European History’s exhibition. The programme will focus on the theme: “Teaching European Integration. How and Why?”\, and will make use of original educational material developed by the House of European History and by EuroClio. \nWhether students\, and people at large\, like it or not\, the European Union has a huge impact on everyone’s life. Every day\, in fact\, European citizens enjoy freedoms that would not have been at their disposal were it not for the Union\, and are at the same time subject to rules and regulations that have been established by it. Furthermore\, in the last decades\, people’s identity has been increasingly influenced by their sense of belonging or not belonging to the Union\, ultimately resulting in complex and multiple identity affiliations. \nNevertheless\, students lack a clear understanding of what the European Union is and how it came to be. The day after the Brexit Referendum (23 June 2016)\, for example\, the most researched question on Google in the United Kingdom was “What is the E.U.”. \nWith no knowledge of the EU and its history\, it can be argued\, students become disenfranchised\, starting a vicious circle hard to break: the less they know about the EU\, the less they understand the impact it has on them and on their identity\, and the impact they can have on it\, and the less they want to know about it. \nHistory and citizenship educators are in a unique position: they can help students break this circle. They\, in fact\, have the possibility to promote\, among their students\, a clear understanding of the events that led to the creation of the European Union\, of how it functions\, how it came to be\, and why it is a unique institution\, results of unique choices and turns of events. \nUnfortunately\, however\, teachers often encounter a series of obstacles when tackling the history of European Integration in the classroom. Among them\, the most relevant are: \n\na lack of time to devote to the topic;\nan dense\, set curriculum\, which allocates few lessons to the history of the EU;\nthe lack of interest from students in approaching European integration and its history.\n\nThis training on “Teaching European Integration” will focus on how teachers can bring the history of the European Union to the classroom in an engaging and meaningful way. Participants will be equipped with a series of ready-to-use materials to teach the history of the European Integration\, including materials that link the topic with national and world history\, making easier to connect it with national curricula. \n  \n\n\n\n\n[su_accordion] \n\n[su_spoiler title=”Programme” open=”yes”] \nThroughout the seminar\, participants will take part to active sessions (including workshops and feedback session) that tackle the history of the European Union from two different angles. First\, the case for teaching the history of the European Union will be made\, and European Integration will be put in the global and national contexts. In the second part of the seminar\, participants will receive specific training on how to bring the history of European Integration in the classroom\, making the concepts accessible to all students without sacrificing the complexity of the institutions and their history. They will also be introduced to material on how to discuss the European Union in the twenty-first century\, and its impact on global history and people’s identity. \n \n[/su_spoiler] \n[su_spoiler title=”Logistics and Fees” open=”yes”] \nThematic Seminar participation includes joining interesting workshops and discussion\, coffee breaks\, lunches and dinners.  The Early Bird Fee of € 180\,- per person will cover for the programme\, while the House of European History will offer the meals. \nIn addition\, we will also offer a discounted rate for Individual EuroClio Members. The discount for Individual EuroClio Members is of € 40\,- and is applicable to the Early Bird Fee and to the Full Summer School Fee. \nThe deadline for Early Bird registrations is 14 September. After 14 September the full rate of € 220\,- per person applies. However\, there are a limited number of places available\, and we would advise you to register as soon as possible. \n[/su_spoiler]

SUMMARY:Critical Thinking in the Age of Emoji’s: Does History Education Play a Role for Media Literacy?
DESCRIPTION:Fake News. Echo Chambers. Viral Posts. Society looks at Education to help student navigate this "brave new world". Citizenship is seen as the place to deliver Media Literacy. But Maybe History can Play a Role? The Digital Age has after all brought a lot of tools to the history educators\, including easy access to billions of sources…How to choose? What to do? What to teach? \nAre you an educator\, or otherwise professionally interested and curious about these questions? \nJoin us on 2 February in Hilversum at a One-Day Conference about these issues. \nThe event is part of the "Media and History" Erasmus+ project. Students in Europe are exposed to history in various ways: By talking with family and friends\, by watching TV and movies\, by listening to music\, by playing games\, by following public debates. All these factors influence the way students look at history. Without critical attitudes and understanding of how history is being made\, students simply echo these ideas. The fact that more and more of this expose to young Europeans – being digital natives – is happening through means\, is not reflected in the way history is generally being taught. In the "Media and History" project specialists in history and media education from Hungary\, Italy\, Poland\, Slovenia\, Spain\, The Netherlands and United Kingdom work together to encourage history educators to use multimedia resources to help students become more media literate. Students will use digital tools to make their own presentations of the past\, better realise that historical (re)presentations are not exact copies of the past\, and improve their research skills (in making judgments about the reliability of information they find online). \n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshops\n\n[su_tabs class="become-a-member"] [su_tab title="Parallel Workshops by International Trainers"] \n\nYulia Kusnereva\, Moscow Gymnasium 1567\, History teacher (Russia)\n"Struggling with media titles and images"\nContent of the workshop will be announced.\n\n\nDaniel Bernsen\, IGS Pellenz\, History teacher (Germany)\n"Potentials of collaborative working for the history classroom"\nIn this workshop\, participants will discover the difference between co-operative and collaborative working. Etherpads and wikis are presented as tools for collaborative working in the history classroom. Participants will have the opportunity to try the tools by themselves and discuss their usefulness\, potentials and limits for history learning.\n\n\nAlexander Cutajar\, University of Malta\, History teacher (Malta)\n"Now playing (in a classroom near you): Teaching history students how to be critical when analysing media content"\nThis workshop will focus on historical sources in the form of media footage from the Cold War and how these sources can be used to create teaching strategies to see what questions history teachers may ask in order for students to (a) be critical of the content; (b) judge the reliability of online information; and (c) use them as evidence. Participants will have time to discuss ideas\, and share experiences and concerns about being critical with media broadcasts in history lessons.\n\n[/su_tab] [su_tab title="Parallel Workshops by Dutch Experts"] \n\nChris van Hall\, Nieuws in de Klas\nChris van Hall will give a workshop in Dutch on how newsletter articles can be used in classrooms to introduce students to the use of media and help them understand these media sources.

SUMMARY:Revolutions in Contemporary History - International Scientific and Practical Conference
DESCRIPTION:EuroClio –  is going to host the International Scientific and Practical conference “Revolutions in contemporary history: facts\, interpretations and educational strategies” in Saint-Petersburg (Russia) from 27-28 October 2017. The conference is held in cooperation with the St. Petersburg Academy of In-Service Teachers’ Training\, and the St. Petersburg Branch of All-Russian public organization “Association of teachers of History and Social Sciences”. \nEven though the Russian Revolution of 1917 is going to be the main focus of the conference\, it will also be used as a model for analysis of other revolutionary activities\, revolts and protests that took place in Europe throughout the 20th century. \nThe Russian Revolution of 1917 is considered the first significant revolution in Russian historiography as this revolution brought dramatic changes not only to the peoples of Russia but completely modified the whole world order and determined much of the course of history for the following seventy years. The aftermath of the Russian revolution can still be observed in current domestic\, international and global politics\, cultures\, economies and societies. \nWe hope to welcome you at the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Revolutions in contemporary history: facts\, interpretations and educational strategies”\, which promises to be an event full of sharing ideas\, methods\, techniques and approaches to teaching the Russian revolution and dialogue between European and Russian history educators.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		 \n			Registration Closed		\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nDOWNLOADS\n\n  \nBackground programme \nConference Programme \nInformation Package \n\n\n\n\n\nCO-ORGANISED BY\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	[su_tabs class=”become-a-member”]\n[su_tab title=”Themes”] \n[su_list icon=”icon: caret-right”] \n\nRevolutions now and then. What’s changed? Case study of the revolutions with the example of the Russian Revolution. The digital age of (in)stability: separatist movements\, transnational terrorism\, political protests and demonstrations.\nHistory educators across Europe teach the Russian Revolution to school students. Obtaining more information about the context\, flow and aftermath of the Russian revolution\, re-assessment of the legacy and consequences as well as sharing of the methods\, techniques\, views and attitudes towards the Russian revolution from a shared European and local Russian perspective will enhance the perception of the Russian revolution\, enrich and improve the teaching of the topic and offer a fresh perspective on the events that happened 100 years ago. Understanding of the past revolutions will help both the educators and their students to make connections between the past and the presence\, critically reflect on the past and assess the contemporary events\, such as current protests\, demonstrations and revolutions\, with proper analytical and rational skills.\nEducational strategies in the digital age of information overflow (digital learning\, responsible teaching\, interactive education)\nOn the one hand\, teaching history is becoming more and more difficult and challenging in the digital age of information overflow\, but on the other hand the potential for using ICT in teaching history offers numerous opportunities for improvement. The availability\, reachability and accessibility of sources adds to multiperspectivity and plurality in history\, however it is important not only to provide sources\, but also teach how to work with them and how to distinguish between a trustworthy and an untrustworthy source. Apart from digital learning and responsible teaching\, the conference will cover educational strategies to teaching the Russian revolution in a series of workshops that will include teaching history with the help of visualization techniques (cinematography\, documentaries\, media and re-enactment)\, animation\, computer games as well as the general use of international online sources.\n\n[/su_list] \n[/su_tab] \n[su_tab title=”Aims and Objectives”] \n[su_list icon=”icon: caret-right”] \n\nTo encourage the Europe wide debate on how the Russian revolution influenced both world\, European\, Russian and other national histories in the course of the 20th and the 21st centuries\nTo evaluate what lessons can be learned from the case of the Russian revolution in order to make sense of the past revolutions as well as those that are taking place in the most contemporary history (e.g. Velvet Revolutions in the CIS region and the Arab revolutions in the Middle East)\nTo compare and contrast views\, perceptions and perspectives on the Russian revolution both in Europe and Russia as well as teaching techniques\, approaches and strategies to teaching the Russian Revolution in the 21st century\nTo facilitate theoretical knowledge exchange in the field of studies of the revolutions\nto explore the teaching techniques\, approaches and attitudes of history educators both from Europe and Russia towards the Russian revolutions as well as its influence on the national histories of Europe by spreading the questionnaire and consequent data analysis\nTo develop a common understanding of responsible history teaching in the current world dynamic as a bridge for peace\, citizenship\, human rights and democracy education\nTo strengthen the capacity building and professional development of both European and local Russian educators in a multicultural learning environment\nTo foster cooperation and networking between European and Russian history teaching associations and individual history educators\n\n[/su_list] \n[/su_tab] \n[su_tab title=”Outcomes”] \n[su_list icon=”icon: caret-right”] \n\nIncreased participation\, dialogue and knowledge transfer in the European community of History Educators\nImproved English-language competence through facilitated and engaged dialogues\nRaised awareness of cultures and identities through reflection on the teaching of history (Russian Revolution) across Europe and Russia\nAccess to new partnerships\, including schools\, local\, regional\, national and international educational authorities and institutes in Russia\nRecognition of developed competences in history education through lifelong learning in the international context\nAccess to innovative history education tools from across Europe with a focus on education for democratic citizenship\nTo transform the shared experiences of integrated and cross-border history education in diverse societies into tangible guidelines for educators and policy-makers\nUnderstanding of the challenges related to dealing with sensitive issues in history\nA conference report for wider dissemination\, including educational resources\, and academic papers\n\n[/su_list] \n[/su_tab] \n[su_tab title=”How to register?”] \nRegistration is now closed \nThe conference fee is 385 euro per person and will include for the entire duration of the conference: \n[su_list icon=”icon: caret-right”] \n\nAccommodation in a 3-star hotel A-Hotel Fontanka\, located in the historical centre of Saint Petersburg on the Fontanka river embankment (single or twin rooms)\nRegistration costs\nTransportation\nCultural programme i.e. museum visits – Museum of Political History and the Hermitage.

SUMMARY:Final Training of Silencing Citizens through Censorship-project in Skopje\, Macedonia
DESCRIPTION:The Silencing Citizens Through Censorship-project involves a transnational group of history and citizenship educators from EuroClio’s member Associations in France\, Germany\, Hungary\, Italy\, Macedonia\, Poland\, and Spain in the development and implementation of students-driven projects on censorship in Europe’s 20th century dictatorial and totalitarian regimes. The focus will be on the history of Franco’s Spain (1936 – 1975)\, Vichy France (1940 – 1945)\, Nazi Germany (1933-1945)\, Mussolini’s Italy (1922 – 1943)\, the post-1945 Hungarian ( – 1990) and Polish Republics (1944 – 1989) and the Republic of Macedonia as part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia under Tito (1945 – 1980). During the project the team members will develop engaging and thought-provoking resources on striking historical examples of censorship with their students through the collection\, compilation and analysis of multi-perspective sources. Students with their teacher will then organise local public events such as exhibitions or debates to showcase the cases they researched in a way that questions the resonance of such history today. \n\n\n\n\n\n The team comes together in Skopje for an intensive final training.

SUMMARY:2016 International Conference on History Education for Peace in East Asia and Europe
DESCRIPTION:A unique gathering of educators and civil society practitioners from East Asia and Europe to explore the role of international cooperation\, history education and civil society in establishing sustainable peace in East Asia in dialogue with Europe. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1\n2\n3\n4\n5\n\nLooking back at…\nEuroClio\, was the proud and selected host for the International NGOs Forum on History and Peace in Leiden\, Utrecht and The Hague. Together with the International History NGO for History and Peace they aimed to organise a Conference focusing on History and Peace. In many ways the goal of gaining a better common understanding of the role of international relations\, history education and civil society in establishing sustainable peace in East Asia in a dialogue with Europe\, was achieved. \nIn the evaluation one of the participants concluded: “The conference was excellent in every regard. It was particularly rewarding to have such a large number of excellent Asian scholars. I might note in particular the excellent presentation by Daching Yong\, as well as the moving address by the elderly Korean woman who relayed her experiences with such emotional and moral force.” \nEuroClio devoted an article to each day\, with an emphasis on the daily focus. If you would like to continue reading about Historical Justice in Europe and East-Asia\, the history of colonialism and World War Two in Europe and East Asia or Global History in the 21st Century\, please follow one of the links. \n \nThe Programme\n6 July @ The Hague Institute for Global Justice\nHistorical Justice in Europe and East Asia\nKey Note speech by Prof. Dr. Antoon de Baets\, followed by presentations\, and visits to The Hague – City of Peace and Justice.\nReport: “Teaching about Historical Justice at the Europe-Asia Conference in The Hague“ \n7 July @ Leiden University\nAddressing the history of colonialism and World War 2 in Europe and East Asia: comparing and contrasting\nVisit to LeidenAsiaCentre\, discussion panels and thematic workshops\nReport: “Comparing and Contrasting European and East Asian History“ \n8 July @ Utrecht University\nTeaching global history in the 21st century: challenges and opportunities and the role of teachers\nPanel presentations on peaceful cooperation in East Asia\, workshops by university lecturers\nReport: “Teaching for Peace in Practice – Challenges and Opportunities“ \nDownloads\nBackground Note\nMany tensions in the world are rooted in history and the way in which it is learned at school\, perceived in public\, and addressed politically can be seen to either resolve or sustain these tensions. This is in particular the case for East Asia\, where history is at the top of political and civil agenda\, aiming to address territorial disputes\, controversial commemorations and historical interpretations. Also history education\, in particular textbooks\, is constantly in the spotlight. \nThe annual International NGOs Forum on History and Peace\, co-organized by the International History NGO for History and Peace\, already since 2008 is a unique platform for cooperation among thousands of representatives of civil society\, education and research with a focus on strengthening cooperation between China\, South Korea and Japan\, as well as fostering co-operation across East Asia and beyond. With many strong civil society partners\, the Forum has initiated and partnered on a variety of projects and partnerships\, which include the production of joint history textbooks\, youth and teacher exchanges. \nThe Forum has also always sought to connect with political representatives\, civil society\, experts and educators from across the world. It has worked closely with different key organisations and expert on history in Europe. In the particular case of Europe\, the Forum aimed to compare and contrast pathways to truth-seeking\, historical dialogues and reconciliation\, as these have manifested themselves in Europe. \nOne of the key European partners for the Forum has been\, since 2009\, the EuroClio – Inspiring History and Citizenship Educators. This association\, established in 1992 and connecting over 30.000 professionals from over 50 countries\, supports the development of responsible and innovative history\, citizenship and heritage education as a way to promote critical thinking\, mutual respect\, peace\, stability and democracy. The Association advocates a sound use of history and heritage education towards the building and deepening of democratic societies\, connecting professionals across boundaries of countries\, ethnicities\, and religions. It seeks to enhance the quality of history and citizenship education through capacity building for educators and producing and implementing innovative teaching tools. \nEuroClio\, the selected host for the International NGOs Forum on History and Peace\, is proud to welcome history educators\, researchers\, civil society activists and political representatives from Europe\, East Asia\, and beyond\, to come to The Hague\, an International City of Peace and Justice\, on 6-8 July 2016 in order to gain a better common understanding of the role of international relations\, history education and civil society in establishing sustainable peace in East Asia in a dialogue with Europe. \nShow more Show less

SUMMARY:International Training Seminar: "Changing Europe"
DESCRIPTION:European Dilemmas and European Decisions\nThe people of the continent of Europe have tried various different ways of managing conflict across the centuries. They have formed alliances\, signed treaties\, sometimes tried to dominate each other\, and more recently have formed supranational organisations where they have common interests. By considering the European Union as one of these methods to manage conflict in Europe\, students can take a historical perspective on the contemporary world. \nThe seminar aims to explore the question of “How to teach about the EU from a historical perspective” through a (inter)active and engaging programme with presentations\, on-site study visits\, workshops\, and round table discussions using the materials developed within the EuroClio project Decisions and Dilemmas I. The conference will provide a platform of intercultural exchange in which the participants will actively learn\, share experiences and network. \nExtra Information\nAims \n\n To build the capacity of history and citizenship educators from various European countries and inspire them to be creative in their professional practice\, encourage cross-border cooperation and enable sharing experiences.\n To provide training in the use of the teaching resources developed in the Decision and Dilemmas project that are designed to promote learning about the European Union from a historical perspective in an engaging way.\n To share and discuss the research findings of the Teaching Europe project after having jointly analyzed how European integration is represented in history textbooks from all 28 EU member states.\n To promote the use of Historiana as tool for innovative and responsible history education and engage the participants to contribute to its further development.\n\nProgramme \nThe international training seminar is combined with a project meeting of one of EuroClio’s partner projects: “Teaching Europe to Enhance EU Cohesion”. In this research project educators from all 28 EU countries research the textbooks for history and another social science topic in the final years of compulsory education to find out how the EU and European integration is portrayed in the textbooks. Throughout the training seminar the team members to this project will join the majority of the programme\, but at times have closed working sessions. \nLogistics and Fees \n\n The seminar will take place in Vilnius\, Lithuania from 13-16 May 2016 (arrival 13 May morning\, departure 16 May).\n Upon registration\, participants will be asked to confirm their participation and fulfill the fee for the course at the latest at the actual course.\n Accommodation during the conference will not be arranged by the organizers.\n The course fee for 2.5 days is 125 euro in total per person including coffee breaks\, lunches\, dinners\, local travel and on-site learning.\n\nRegister Now\nRegistrations are open until 22 April 2016.
