Connecting Europe through History

 History educators, historians, History educationalists and political scientists from more than 15 countries met at Freie Universität Berlin last weekend in order to discuss the position of the topic of migration in the History lessons of the respective countries. Starting with lively round table discussions, also with students of the faculty of History Didactics at Freie Universität, participants widely agreed on the importance of the topic. Dr. Peter Lautzas, head of the cooperating partner German Association of History Teachers even stated that “The aspect of migration is essential for modern History lessons in a globalized world”. The international project team targets at the development of topic-related material for History educators and students (including scaffolding language tasks and activities for non-native speakers) presenting it through a freely accessible homepage and focusing on both, local and trans-national, historical and modern examples of people on the move. Students will be enabled to realize the importance of very personal stories within history and, along with that, the fact that phenomena that seem to have a very narrow perspective at first, tend to have very long-lasting consequences even for their personal lives.

 On Wednesday 17 March 2010 the Palais de la Porte Dorée in Paris, France, will host a seminar on 'History of Migrations in France and Europe: which challenges for the classrooms?'. EUROCLIO organises this event jointly with the 'Cite Nationale de l’Histoire de l’Immigration' (CNHI), the European Association of History Educators (EUROCLIO), the French Association of History and Geography Teachers (APHG) and the National Institute for Pedagogical Resources (INRP). This seminar aims to bring together a wide audience of teachers and various stakeholders in the field of education and research, as well as other areas of the civil society. The programme of the event will consist of key-note lectures inviting reflection on the inclusion of ‘migration history’ in schools in France and Europe. The event will host round-tables, offering the opportunity to learn and exchange knowledge and ideas about national and transnational innovative educational practices related to the topic of discussion. The event will be held mainly in French. If you are interested to participate you can download the Preliminary Programme and fill in the registration form to be sent back to

 After a successful kick-off in Cracow, Poland in October 2009, the second event within the EUROCLIO Project “Connecting Europe through History – Experiences and Perceptions of Migrations” takes place in Berlin, January on January 29-31 2010 and will be hosted by the Freie Universität Berlin. History teachers from different European countries will meet with students of the Freie Universitat Berlin and experts in the field of History Education to reflect on the challenge of teaching history to students who do not share the same historical background. Representatives from the Danish and German History Teachers Association and the Moroccan Center for Civic Education will give a good insight into the way the History of Migrants is presented in the textbooks.

 The new EUROCLIO Project “Connecting Europe through History – Experiences and Perceptions of Migrations in Europe” has taken off with the first of a series of international events scheduled within the Project during 2009-2010. The seminar took place in Cracow, Poland on October 16th-18th at the Institute of European Studies, Jagiellonian University and brought together history teachers, representatives of the DG Enlargement of the European Commission and students attending the EVROPAEVM Graduate Workshop “Europeanisation in Central and Eastern Europe: How have the new member states changed?” EUROCLIO Partners in this Project, Dr. Paul Flather (EVROPAEVM), Frerik Kampman and Marko Halonen (International Students of History Association-ISHA) engaged the participants from Poland and beyond in a Round Table discussion on “Migration as a Theme in History Teaching”. Issues on which extent has migration been integrated into the national curriculum in Poland, how much nationalistic or politically coloured versions of the past affect the Polish teachers and the different perspectives on the topic in other countries than Poland were addressed. A good insight was gained into what has changed in teaching about Migration after the fall of communism and how pupils perceive the theme of migration. |
