SUMMARY:Teaching history\, teaching peace? 2023 Annual Conference of the Ob
	servatory on History Teaching in Europe
DTSTAMP:20241018T053435Z
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20231130

DESCRIPTION:In recent times\, we have seen many attempts at manipulation an
	d abuses orchestrated by anti-democratic forces or motivated by nationalis
	t political agendas\, which sit outside any framework of critical thinking
	 or desire to preserve democratic and humanist values. The most striking e
	xample of these abuses is\, of course\, the invasion of Ukraine by the Rus
	sian Federation\, one of the justifications for which is the denial of Ukr
	aine’s own history and its existence as an independent nation.\n\nEven tho
	ugh the trends above can be observed to varying degrees throughout the Eur
	opean continent\, they are not an absolute rule and fortunately\, we are n
	ot fighting a losing battle against these practices. Nevertheless\, to pre
	vent this from developing and becoming commonplace\, it is necessary to qu
	estion and observe the way in which history is taught. Are these trends at
	tributable to the low number of hours allocated to history teaching or to 
	the inadequate teaching tools available to history teachers? Are younger g
	enerations confronted with history lessons that give pride of place to nat
	ional narratives and where critical thinking is relegated to second place?
	 – these are among some other questions we can ask ourselves.\n\nAll these
	 aspects are covered by the first OHTE General report on the state of hist
	ory teaching in Europe\, which will be presented during the annual confere
	nce.
