SUMMARY:Analysing Controversial Figures: Putting a Strategy to the Test
DTSTAMP:20241121T084059Z
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20241119
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible to develop an educational resource that can be a
	dapted for use by teachers and students in many different educational cont
	exts? 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
