Description

The first annual forum for history education “Sites of Memories: Learning spaces for democracy” was held at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade on the 3rd and 4th of November 2022. Around 70 participants – history educators, history education experts, Council of Europe representatives and others from around 26 countries gathered to discuss the potential of memory sites for education that would lead to the development of democratic principles. The forum combined three crucial aspects of looking at the sites of memories: experiences from successful memorials/museums, visits to memory sites in Belgrade, and a theoretical perspective on sites of memories.
