History education: raising awareness on our common history

Description

Description

The ‘Europe for Citizens’ programme for the period 2014-2020 is established through the Council Regulation (EU) No 390/2014 of 14 April 2014
The aim of this programme is
•    To contribute to citizens’ understanding of the EU, its history and diversity
•    To foster European citizenship and to improve conditions for civic and democratic participation at EU level
•    To raise awareness of remembrance, common history and values
•    To encourage democratic participation of citizens at EU level, by developing citizens’ understanding of the EU policy making-process and, by promoting opportunities for societal and intercultural engagement and volunteering at EU level

According to Article 3 of the Treaty of the European Union, the EU’s aim is to promote peace, its values and the well-being of its peoples. In the context of this article and the general description of Strand 1, the Europe for Citizens programme will support projects reflecting on causes of totalitarian regimes in Europe’s modern history as well as projects concerning other defining moments and reference points in recent European history.

Historical moments which will be commemorated in particular in 2014 will be the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War I, the 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the 10 years of enlargement of the European Union to Central and Eastern Europe. These key moments of European modern history have therefore been chosen as annual priorities for Strand 1 of the Europe for Citizens Programme for the year 2014.

General objectives of the programme:
•    To contribute to citizens’ understanding of the EU, its history and diversity
•    To foster European citizenship and to improve conditions for civic and democratic participation at EU level

Historiana, your portal to the past

Comments/Description

The EUROCLIO programme Historiana™ – Your Portal to the Past is an on-line educational multimedia tool that offers students multi-perspective, cross-border and comparative historical sources to supplement their national history textbooks.
Historiana™ might be considered as a digital alternative to a European textbook, however the website does not attempt to present a comprehensive ‘story of Europe’ and its relationship with the rest of the world. It offers a framework for comparing and contrasting the impact on and responses by Europe’s nations to a range of different events and developments which have shaped the world from the distant past to modern times.
