EuroClio 28th Annual Conference
The annual EuroClio conference has been held this year in Italy from 28-1. May. Part of the conference was organized in Bologna, and two days were in Ferrara (Friday and Saturday). This year as well, Education for the 21st Century was actively participated in the conference, in the workshop dedicated to the Contested Histories project.
Learning to Disagree
A skilled team of 14 history educators has developed, as part of this project, 15 sets of content that enable students and educators to have dialogue, debates and discussions on contested issues. Each set of contents provides information on the issues at stake, the historical context, a variety of viewpoints, and questions that made students think.
These sets of content focus on four different themes:
- People on the Move
- Surviving Under Pressure
- Contested Cultural Heritage
All these sets of content are available on Historiana.eu, in the Historical Content section. To further help teachers using these resources, the Learning to Disagree team has developed dedicated lesson plans, which are available on Historiana.eu in the Teaching and Learning section.
