The European Network Remembrance and Solidarity invites secondary school history and social sciences teachers to attend a workshop ‘Bridging Narratives: Best Practices and Challenges of History Education in Europe’ which will be held as part of the International Forum Moldova (IFM) on 16 October, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
The workshop will focus on three key areas, each highlighting innovative methods for teaching history:
- Moldovan Curriculum Introduction. Dr Ludmila Cojocaru (Museum of Victims of Political Repressions and Deportations, Chișinau) will present Moldova's new curriculum, Totalitarian Communist Regime: Repression and Resistance Movements, which will offer insights into how Moldova addresses its Soviet past. The session will also showcase Hi-Story Lessons, a digital platform for making history more engaging and accessible.
- Project-Based History Education. This session will explore tools for connecting students to history through site-based learning. Dr Ludmila Cojocaru will share examples from post-Soviet youth summer schools, while Joanna Orłoś and Helena Link (ENRS) will present the Sound in the Silence project, using arts to engage students with historical events.
- Facilitating Dialogue on Controversial Histories. Led by Barbara Walshe (ENRS), this session will provide strategies for guiding students through discussions of sensitive historical topics, promoting critical thinking and respectful dialogue.
