Online Seminar for Students - Seeking Justice From Nuremberg to The Hague
2024-10-14 10:00 - 2024-10-15 15:00 | 2585 EV
Online Seminar for Students: 14th – 15th of October, both days from 10 AM to 3 PM
Interactive online seminars, exploring questions of justice, the evolution and practice of international criminal law, refugee rights and the human rights protection framework. Organized by the Euroclio Association from the Netherlands and Croatian Education and Development Network for the Evolution of Communication – HERMES. No prior knowledge of law or legal issues is required, the workshop is designed for 16-18 year olds from Europe in subject areas such as history and civics. The teacher workshop will look at effective ways of teaching about issues relating to justice and injustice in secondary school classrooms.

What are we offering:
A 2-day online seminar that will involve some of the following focus areas:
Foundations of International Justice: This session delves into the historical and philosophical foundations of international justice, exploring concepts such as the evolution of the notion of justice, key principles of international law related to justice, and landmark events or documents that have shaped the modern understanding of justice on a global scale.
The Nuremberg Trials: Lessons and Legacies: This module focuses specifically on the Nuremberg Trials as a pivotal moment in the development of international justice. It examines the legal and ethical implications of the trials, their significance in establishing accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and the lasting impact they have had on subsequent international legal frameworks.
The International Criminal Court (ICC): Structure and Functioning: Here, students learn about the structure, mandate, and jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This session would cover the ICC’s role in prosecuting individuals for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of aggression, as well as its relationship with national legal systems and the challenges it faces in fulfilling its mandate.
Case Studies in International Justice: This module involves in-depth analysis of a specific case or trial before international court, such as the ICC or other ad hoc tribunals (e.g. International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia). Students examine the factual background, legal arguments, and outcomes of selected cases, considering their broader implications for international law, transitional justice, and the pursuit of accountability for mass atrocities.

Study day for teachers: Using Football To Teach Modern History (by Erasmus University Rotterdam)
2024-10-26 10:00 - 17:00 | Erasmus University Rotterdam Burgemeester Oudlaan 50, 3062 PA Rotterdam, Burgemeester Oudlaan 50, Rotterdam, 3062 PA, Netherlands
Register with Erasmus University Rotterdam
Making history concrete and close to one’s own experience: this is not always the strongest quality of our schoolbooks. On this special day, we will share experiences from the Football Makes History programme on how teachers can use sport and sports stories to say something about the history of the 19th and 20th centuries and make it tangible and relevant for secondary school students of both lower and upper grades. This keeps the subject ‘close to the learner’ and allows for complexity and multi-perspectivity.
Programme highlights
The role of sport in society
Sport is not an island, but a part of society. Developments in society have a major impact on how people can or want to do sport. Is sport part of a problem or is sport the solution?
Football and collective memory
From its inception, football has played a role in the formation of a collective memory, fuelled by personal memories of and stories about iconic matches, tournaments, incidents and heroes. Moving and thought-provoking stories that, put in a broader perspective, can illustrate Europe’s history in a way different from the traditional ‘canon’.
Iconic football moments as teaching material
Matches such as those during the 1914 ‘Christmas truce’ in the trenches, the myth of the death match in 1942, the 1974 World Cup with the ‘fratricidal struggle’ between the GDR and the GDR during the Cold War, can be the starting point for lessons that make pupils think in an original way and contribute to their empathy and historical awareness.
Objective & result

Led by subject didactics and subject experts, you work on designing concrete lessons about football as a starting point for lessons about history.
You learn more about iconic football moments and their broader 20th-century historical contexts.
Based on this newly acquired knowledge, you design individual lessons and lesson series on the 20th century and on historical thinking and reasoning, using concrete and surprisingly appealing examples.

Gamification Webinar Series 2/2: Futures Thinking Meets Civic Engagement
2024-11-07 16:30 - 18:00 | 2585 EV
What is this webinar about?
Across the globe, countries are experiencing increasing tension and polarisation as we grapple with a world in a polycrisis. As we ponder the future of our governments, we wonder how we might use our imaginations to engage people to work together to strengthen our democracies and meet the challenges of our era. In this session, we will explore how we might incorporate futures thinking into civic education, and how it might help us rethink what’s possible. Taking inspiration from the newly released PBS documentary A Brief History of the Future, we will explore how innovators are coming up with new ways to engage citizens in the democratic process and how we might come together to work towards a desired future.
What do we offer?
While both webinars can be joined independently, they will each teach different aspects of game design and you will have the floor to work on your own playful educational activity. We will also offer an exclusive game that you can use in your classroom.
About our host:
This webinar will be hosted by Michelle Blanchet – co-founder of The Educators’ Lab and author of Preventing Polarisation: 50 Strategies for Teaching Kids About Empathy, Politics, and Civic Responsibility. Michelle is an educational futurist who believes change in education can only happen if we support our teachers. For the past decade, Michelle has worked with schools and organisations to infuse startup strategies into professional learning so that teachers are empowered to reimagine education focusing on social impact topics like civic engagement, regenerative economics, and changemaking. After teaching social studies in both the U.S. and Switzerland, she co-founded the Educators’ Lab, and has been engaging with teachers across the globe ever since. Michelle is also the co-author of The Startup Teacher Playbook. She has worked with organisations like Getting Smart, PBS Education and Ashoka, and occasionally blogs for Edutopia. A graduate of IE University in Madrid, she is part of the Global Shaper Community of the World Economic Forum and has presented at numerous events, including SXSWedu and TEDxLausanne.

SENSEI Conference
2024-11-15 09:00 - 2024-11-16 21:00 | Leskovac, Serbia
SENSEI Conference on Inclusive Education
We are delighted to announce the Conference on Inclusive Education, which will take place on 15-16 November 2024!
About the Project
The School EducatioN for Sustainable and Equal Inclusion [SENSEI] project seeks to create and deliver courses on inclusive education for both pre-service and in-service teachers, by looking at current good practices in inclusion, testing them in different contexts, and integrating them with new approaches.
This includes best practices for the inclusion of students:

With special education needs, including high-attaining students;
with a migrant background;
that are part of national, cultural, or religious minorities;
from a different socioeconomic background;
of students that are members of the LGBTQI+ community; and
equitable representation of female students.

What are we looking for?
Participants: Are you working in the field of education? Are you a practising teacher or still learning? Would you like to share or learn more about how to deliver content that caters to students/clients of diverse backgrounds? Even when it seems difficult to put so many diverse groups together, or when there are systemic issues? Registrations are now closed.
Workshop hosts: Do you specialise in inclusive learning? Do you have expert knowledge about the inclusion of any of the above groups? Then perhaps you would like to share your knowledge. You don’t need to specifically work in education to submit a proposal, only to work with participation/inclusion – but workshops are expected to include reflection on how your expertise can be applied in education. Registrations are now closed.
To apply, participants and workshop hosts are required to have a working level of English proficiency. Moreover, sessions should be interactive and utilise non-formal methods whilst avoiding frontal presentations. We can only sponsor participants from the following countries: Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, and Spain.
What do we offer?
We offer full financial sponsorship for selected participants and workshop hosts, meaning that your travel, stay, food and accommodation will be covered for the duration of the event. The sponsorship is possible through the Erasmus+ Grant of the project.
The SENSEI Conference on inclusive education will host a safe space to network with like-minded professionals and leaders, aiming to provide you with impactful experiences and practical content in the field of participatory and inclusive education. The Conference will also serve as a forum for the project’s development, thus the expertise we will all share will likely influence the outcomes of our goals – about which you can read more on our official project page.

Webinar - Analysing Controversial Figures: Putting a Strategy to the Test
2024-11-19 16:00 - 17:30 | Online
Register
Is it possible to develop an educational resource that can be adapted for use by teachers and students in many different educational contexts? This question has been the driving force behind the work that James Diskant has done with EuroClio and practising teachers and master students from five different countries during the last year.
During this webinar, Jim, along with Steven Stegers, will share the fruits of this work with the wider EuroClio community and ask for feedback, suggestions, and support. The webinar is centred around the teaching strategy “Analyzing Controversial Historical Figures to Understand Why they are Perceived so Differently“. The origin of this strategy was a lesson plan made by Melisa Foric as part of a EuroClio project addressing sensitive and controversial topics in the former Yugoslav region. In this lesson, students learn how Gavrilo Princip, known for his assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was seen by others during and after his lifetime. Gentian Dedja, who authored the strategy, found that the same strategy could be applied to teach about other controversial figures as well. This assumption is what Jim and the rest of the team are now testing.
So, what can you expect from the webinar?

To learn more about the teaching strategy and to see how it has been applied to different historical figures: Cristoforo Columbo/aka Christopher Columbus, Vlad III, known as the Impaler (Țepeș), of Wallachia, Martin Luther, Louis XIV of France, and Catherine II (the Great) of Russia.
To understand how the development and testing of teaching strategies fit into the bigger strategy of EuroClio.
To be challenged to think of other historical figures for which the strategy could be applied.
To be asked to give some feedback (about teaching strategies in general and this example in particular) and to pilot the materials (which we see as the ultimate test and hope some participants are able to do).

As a bonus, the participants will get access to all the student and teacher materials that have been developed so far.

Written and Audiovisual Primary Sources
2025-03-12 17:00 - 18:00 | Online
Written and Audiovisual Primary Sources is the second webinar in the webinar series Thinking Routines in History Education. In order to see a full overview of all webinars in this series, please follow this link.

Project Zero (PZ) is an initiative developed by the Harvard Graduate School of Education. You can learn more about what Project Zero consists of here.
Project Zero (PZ) encourages the use of thinking routines that can greatly enhance the study of primary sources in history education. By using these routines, teachers will help students to engage deeply with primary sources, going beyond surface-level observations to critically analyse historical documents, artefacts, or images. In this session, participants will learn how this approach could help students to develop inquiry skills by encouraging them to question the context, purpose, and perspective of the sources. They will also see how Projecct Zero fosters collaborative discussion, enabling learners to build interpretations and make connections to broader historical themes. In this way, Project Zero routines make primary sources more accessible and meaningful, supporting students’ historical thinking and understanding.
