Each year since 1993 EUROCLIO organises, in cooperation with one of its Member Associations, one big international meeting as professional training and development course on a topic that is Europe wide relevant for school history education. 17 EUROCLIO Annual Professional Training and Development Conferences have taken place annually in the past two decades with a growing success: starting with 60 people from 4 countries in Scotland in 1993, the participation reached up to 160 participants from 45 countries in 2005 in Latvia and 2006 in Malta.
An appealing diversity
...Of locations
Each year the EUROCLIO Annual Meeting is held in a different country of Europe, thus fostering the transnational mobility of history educators. The past EUROCLIO Annual Professional Training and Development Conferences have been organised in a variety of locations ranging from Baltic and Scandinavian countries to countries from the Mediterranean and from the Balkans. Participants to these events have had the opportunity to travel to discover contrasted national realities from small (Wales, 2004) as well as big (Italy, 2003) nations, from western (England, 2008) as well as post-soviet (Czech Republic 2002) countries but also divided (Cyprus 2009) or border (Netherlands 2010) areas....Of themes
The themes for the EUROCLIO Annual Meetings are carefully chosen in order to meet the areas of interest and needs of history educators from different countries and in order to give them food for thought and opportunities for innovative thinking . Cross-border issues related to both the content and the methodology of history education are always addressed in the choice of a relevant theme. The promotion of European values and the connection to the most contemporary challenges in education are an important concern. The EUROCLIO Conferences invite participants to reflect on untouched or sensitive issues such as the history of everyday life (Estonia 2001) or the history of minorities (Prague 2002); to evaluate the role of history education in the promotion of active citizenship (Malta 2006) or Human Rights (Slovenia 2007); to address civic society challenges such as national identity (Scotland 1999) or intercultural dialogue (Cyprus 2009)....Of content
The format of the EUROCLIO Annual Meetings is an original combination of theory and practice through academic lectures on didactical research and interactive workshops on innovative classroom practices. The organisers always put a great care in setting up an intensive and rich in content programme to which contribute a wide range of local and international experts in History Education. Representatives of national and transnational educational authorities are often contributing. The programme also offers on-site learning through study visits to schools and historical places, and gives room to discussions and informal exchanges between participants.
19th Euroclio Annual Conference 2012 is right here in the corner and the excitement is rapidly growing. We walked through a long path of preparations and here we are with a conference with more than 190 participants from more than 40 countries from all over the world.
