A message from Asst. Prof. Dr. Bülent Tarman of the Turkish Association of Social Studies Educators,one of the members of the EUROCLIO network:
Dear social studies educators;
We, Marmara University Ataturk Education Faculty and Association for Social Studies Educators, are organizing an international symposium titled as ‘International Symposium on Social Studies Education: New Trends and Issues in Citizenship and Democracy Education in a Changing World’. The aim of the symposium is to discuss some issues surrounding social studies and citizenship education. They will be discussed in the context of new national/global social, cultural, political and economic
theoretical approaches and practical applications in the area. Thus, we are hoping to build on our vision of creating a world where justice and democracy are upheld, and
there is peace and prosperity.
Your involvement as a paper presenter or an audience to our symposium will make it a joyful science fair. We look forward to seeing you in İstanbul on 20-22 April 2012.
On Saturday July 2nd, the Turkish Association of History Educators will be presenting a workshop on ‘Teaching Using The Wall,’ at the Schools History Project Annual Conference taking place in Leeds, United Kingdom. The workshop will aim to provide a thematic approach to teaching historical concepts to a mainly UK-audience. Team members from the EUROCLIO/Matra Project "A Key to Europe, Innovative Methodology in Turkish School History" will conduct the workshop. After participating in the Schools History Project for a number of years as observers, the event will showcase Turkey’s forward-thinking in its approach to historical education as a direct result of the Matra-sponsored project managed by EUROCLIO. For more details of Turkey’s contribution to the conference, please contact the EUROCLIO Senior Manager
