European Association of History Educators

Between the 6th and 7th of July, authors and experts from all over Georgia convened in Bazaleti Lake just outside of Tbilisi for the final authors and experts workshop within the framework of the EUROCLIO/Matra project Tolerance Building Through History Education. International experts Thomas Sherlock (Professor of Political Science at the West Point Military Academy, USA) Yulia Kushnereva (Former project coordinator for the EUROCLIO/Matra project Mosaics of Culture, Russia) and Iryna Kostyuk (former EUROCLIO project coordinator for the EUROCLIO/Matra project in the Ukraine (New Times, New History) joined over 70 history educators over the days to share their knowledge and expertise with EUROCLIO’s Georgian colleagues. The last workshop was the final opportunity for worksheet peer-to-peer review before the editing process. Iryna Kostyuk and Yulia Kushnereva, experts from former EUROCLIO projects  monitored the process and presented their expert comments and feedback on the worksheets and classroom ideas on display.For more details select 'Read More' or download the full report here

Participation in the event was truly international, with representatives from USA, Ukraine, Russia, The Netherlands, Armenia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and all regions of Georgia present. The event was a vital chance for the project authors and experts for the last time to share their worksheet ideas before submission of the developed worksheets in August, ready for editing. The event also played host to an interesting roundtable discussion on developments of history textbooks in Georgia, as well as excellent international workshops and presentations from all involved. The workshop allowed for the project management team to clearly identify the successes of the project so far, and work closely to overcome the challenges that face the project.
