Description
The project Contested Histories Onsite aspired to offer toolkits to educators and other stakeholders to better understand and address the complex legacies of Europe’s totalitarian past. By doing so, the aim was to highlight that historical complexity and contestation are universal themes across European societies and to motivate conversation surrounding histories. Throughout the project, a core team of educators and academics worked with MSA and EuroClio to develop, test, and improve tours for the general public and create a toolkit for educators and other stakeholders interested in knowledge-sharing on contested sites.
