A Class from the Past (EURONEWS, Learning World, 2011)
EURONEWS/Learning World visited the 18th EUROCLIO Annual Professional Training and Development Conference. The documentary includes moreover reportage from Lebanon and Rwanda. Teaching history holds many challenges for educators, especially among divided communities or those with a troubled past. They must be careful to have a neutral perspective, and present the facts in a balanced way. But learning history can also help to build bridges and foster reconciliation.
TeachingHistoryinBosnia(24 minutes, 2007,UK,TeacherTV©)
This programme shows the importance of history in shaping national identity, by looking at how the subject is taught in Bosnia. In this country, where memories of conflict are still very fresh, children are growing up learning a very one-sided account of their history. In towns of multiple ethnic groups, schools are divided and in the same building Croat children are taught in separate classrooms from Muslim children. History is taught from different national curriculums that offer different views of the past. It's a situation that while keeping the peace in the present could also drive a wedge between ethnic groups by reinforcing differences. By learning about another country's treatment of history, the programme also asks from a wider perspective, how much of our own country's past we simple accept. Published: 22 August 2007
