Description

The National Association of Young Historians of Moldova (ANTIM) announces the Final Event of the 2025–2026 History Competition, to be held on 18 June 2026 in the Republic of Moldova. Organised under the theme “War and Peace in History Textbooks from the Republic of Moldova,” the competition encouraged students to critically explore how conflict and peace are represented in school textbooks and to reflect on their importance for contemporary society. Now in its fifth edition and organised in partnership with the EUSTORY network, the contest promotes historical education, civic engagement, and democratic values among young people. The initiative combines international experience with Moldovan educational realities and supports innovative approaches to history teaching. The competition invited middle and high school students to carry out original research projects in creative formats such as posters, podcasts, videos, interviews, journals, and documentaries. Participants explored representations of war and peace in textbooks, challenged stereotypes, and proposed alternative historical narratives. The 2025–2026 edition attracted 55 projects from gymnasium and lyceum students across Moldova. During the final event, the jury will recognise the 15 best projects and several honourable mentions. Evaluation focused on research quality, originality, argumentation, and thematic relevance. Winners will receive diplomas, educational materials, and symbolic prizes. As EUSTORY celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2026, selected winners from Moldova will also participate in the EUSTORY Past Forward Festival in Hamburg, Germany, bringing together young historians from across Europe to discuss history, peace, and civic responsibility.
