Description

Panel during 6th Congress on Polish Studies. Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine brings challenges for history education in schools in EU countries. It also raises many questions: How to teach Ukrainian history in Poland and Germany? How to inform the general and professional public in the European Union about the current situation of the education system in Ukraine? How can we support teachers and schoolchildren in Ukraine? To what extent can we use the experiences from the Polish-German textbook project "Europe. Our History", but also other transnational teaching materials, to produce similar materials on history of Ukraine in the broader context of European history? We will try to find answers to these questions during a panel discussion following the presentation of the documentary “War on Education” by Italian director Stefano Di Pietro who takes a close look at the Russian attacks on the Ukrainian education system. (The panel is organized in cooperation by the Centre for Historical Research in Berlin of the Polish Academy of Science with the Joint German-Polish Textbook Commission at the Leibniz-Institut für Bildungsmedien | Georg-Eckert-Institut in Braunschweig, the EFREC Program and the European Association of History Educators EuroClio).
