The project has been implemented with the support of the Evens Foundation.
One of the concrete outcomes of Sharing European Histories is the development of 5 teaching strategies, developed by a team of authors (please see the SEH project page for further information). These innovative strategies challenge how history education has been taught in the past and aim to teach the complexity and multiplicity of European Histories, in order to better understand the continent. The five strategies developed are:
Using stories of the past to teach students about its complexity
Using commemorative practices to teach
that history is a constructed narrative
Using object biographies to reveal how
our pasts are interconnected
Analysing historical figures to understand how and why they are perceived
differently
Studying histories of ideas to learn about
continuity and change
Please find below the publication of the strategies, which can be downloaded, in the following 10 languages; English, German, Greek, Polish, Portuguese, Serbian, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Italian:
Change and continuity through looking at the impact of a happening that is having a diverse impact on society
Project Citizen: engaging students in the active exercise of responsible citizenship
Helping all student answer challenging questions about the causes of historical events and developments
Action Research: projects as active methods to develop civic skills
How do we decide what we believe? – Helping students learn how to question beliefs and test claims to become more (self) critical and evidence based in their thinking
