The Third Authors’ and Experts’ Workshop of the EUROCLIO/Matra project ‘A Key to Europe: Innovative Methodology in Turkish School History’ hosted over 60 history educators in the mountain town of Kizilcahamam, Turkey between 12-14 March. The event showcased workshops focusing on developed materials within the project framework, with a focus on active learning, ICT and peer-review of materials and workshop approaches by both regional and international experts. After one year of the project, the event was an important insight into how far the project had come with regards to meeting the project aims. The project management team and academic advisors were able to identify the successes and remaining challenges with regards to activities and materials. The event was another chance for the History Educators Association of Turkey to present their new website and appeal to new members in the Ankara region with a teacher-training seminar held on March 11th, kindly sponsored by Gazi Education faculty at Gazi University. The event was a success, with an additional 30 teachers receiving ICT and active workshop training. After discussion between participants and expert analysis concluding Kizilcahamam, it became clear that there is now a need to focus on assessment for the upcoming workshop, held in Kastamonu Ilgaz, Turkey between 9th -11th July. The appropriate expert has been identified by the project management team and will join the authors and experts network in the project to continue the encouraging work being done so far in developing material.

The distinct ICT in history education focus from Project Manager Jonathan Even-Zohar (EUROCLIO) and international experts in ICT in history education Doug Belshaw (Director of e-learning, Northumbria, UK) and Nick Dennis (History teacher, developer of ICT education at International Baccalaureate school in Essex, UK) gave participants a good insight into the usage of ICT in history education. The project management used this event to continue to raise awareness of the importance of the implementation of theory into practical school history. The report is now available online here.
