Call for participants to the The World Congress of School History Teachers
The World Congress of School History Teachers offers a unique opportunity for history educators to meet colleagues from all across the world, to discuss several key aspects of History Education today. The National Committee of Russian Historians, who is hosting the World Congress, has invited EuroClio to host several sessions, and to invite colleagues from Europe via an open call for participants.
What is on offer?
Over four days, you will have the possibility to dive into the topics of: how is history tackled in different school systems, what is the purpose of history, and national exams; what is the role of the history text book today, and how are transnational textbooks created; how to teach controversial topics; teaching about revolutions in world history, and about the second world war; online teaching; the Council of Europe Observatory on History Teaching. The Congress will be held in English and Russian.
