Euroclio 26th Annual Conference

  • Annual Conference by the European Association of History Educators (Euroclio) is a regular international conference for history, geography, heritage, and citizenship educators and education professionals from all across and beyond Europe. This year  (26th annual conference, 4-7 April 2019) was held in Gdańsk , famous city for his history and location in the north of Poland.  In Gdańsk, we can find many museums and historical monument which commemorate some moments of Poland history. The famous museums are Museum of the Second World War and Europejskie Centrum Solidarności.

    The main topic of the conference this year was how to interest all students in learning history and how to bring history to life. This topic can be grasped in more detail by using three key conference issues:

    1. How can we make the connections between current (European) affairs and history clear and meaningful for students?
    2. How can we spark and use students’ curiosity toward past events to provide quality history and citizenship education?
    3. How can we bring history to life, interesting all students in learning history?

    More information about key conference issues can find in the in concept note by Euroclio on the conference page.
