Steven Stegers works for EUROCLIO - the European Association of History Educators as project manager for the projects "Teaching tolerance through history education in Georgia" and "Past-the Future of Europe". In the first project local history educators and international experts are working together to improve the quality of history teaching in the multicultural and multireligious environment of Georgia. The second project aims to develop a methodology that challenged students to think critically about their past through the creation of an online multimedia tool that provides multiple sources and perspectives on common themes in European history and heritage.
During his employment he has been increasingly succesful in the development and implementation of educational projects related to history and history education. Amongst other things, he played a key role in the development of succesful EUROCLIO project proposals for multiple national, regional and European projects. S. also succeeded in securing the core-financing of the European Union under the Lifelong Learning Jean Monet Programme for the period of three years.
In 2007, S. got a scholarship to do research at Georgetown University and the Library of Congress in Washington DC. This research enabled him to develop a world-historical framework that allows readers to see the extraordinary relation between humans and their environment caused by the availability of abundant and cheap energy sources in the modern era. S. got interested in this topic during his study history at Leiden University, where he specialised world history and particpated in the 14th Crayenborgh honoursclass titled 'Human Agency and the Environment in global context'.
S. gained practical experience in the organization and financing of international training events when he organized international symposia in 2006 and 2007 together with friend and colleague Jonathan Even-Zohar assisted by prof. P.H.H. Vries. More than 260 participants attended these symposia with key-note speakers from Germany, Italy, Russia, The Netherlands and the United States.
