This question has been the driving force behind the work that James Diskant has done with EuroClio and practising teachers and master students from five different countries during the last year.\n\nDuring this webina r\, Jim will share the fruits of this work with the wider EuroClio communi ty and ask for feedback\, suggestions\, and support. The webinar is centr ed around the teaching strategy “Analyzing Controversial Historical Figure s to Understand Why they are Perceived so Differently“. The origin of this strategy was a lesson plan made by Melisa Foric as part of a EuroClio pro ject addressing sensitive and controversial topics in the former Yugoslav region. In this lesson\, students learn how Gavrilo Princip\, known for hi s assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand\, was seen by others during an d after his lifetime. Gentian Dedja\, who authored the strategy\, found th at the same strategy could be applied to teach about other controversial f igures as well. This assumption is what Jim and the rest of the team are n ow testing.\n\nSo\, what can you expect from the webinar?\n\nTo learn more about the teaching strategy and to see how it has been applied to differe nt historical figures: Cristoforo Columbo/aka Christopher Columbus\, Vlad III\, known as the Impaler (Țepeș)\, of Wallachia\, Martin Luther\, Louis XIV of France\, and Catherine II (the Great) of Russia.\nTo understand how the development and testing of teaching strategies fit into the bigger st rategy of EuroClio.\nTo be challenged to think of other historical figures for which the strategy could be applied.\nTo be asked to give some feedba ck (about teaching strategies in general and this example in particular) a nd to pilot the materials (which we see as the ultimate test and hope some participants are able to do).\n\nAs a bonus\, the participants will get a ccess to all the student and teacher mat URL:https://euroclio.eu/event/webinar-analysing-controversial-figures-putti ng-a-strategy-to-the-test/ LOCATION:online ORGANIZER;CN=EuroClio END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
