Dealing with the Past in History Education

Dealing with the Past in History Education

The project creates, empowers and increases the impact of a global core group of civil society actors that have a mission and relevant experience on the promotion of innovative and responsible history education and work on a cross-regional level to work on Dealing with the Past in History Education. This project enables this core group to learn from each other and other stakeholders during joint project meetings and international study visits. The core group members will experience first-hand how other organizations implement their mission. They will explore what history education can contribute to conflict prevention and transnational justice and identify ways to overcome the practical challenges related to dealing with conflicting memories and narratives, dealing with emotional and difficult histories, dealing with uncertainties and sensitivities. The result of this exploration will be the documentation of existing practices and practical recommendations that can be used for local and cross-regional implementation and joint advocacy on global, regional and national levels.Cover images (left to right):
