EUROCLIO is actively involved in organizing its 19th Annual Conference Professional Training Development Course ‘Looking at History Through a Variety of Lenses’. Each year EUROCLIO organizes its Annual Conference with the support of high profile experts from different parts of the world for the purpose to raise and discuss globally important issues that hinder the development of history education without prejudices, hostility and stereotypes towards other communities, distorted extremism and nationalism.

The upcoming 19th EUROCLIO Annual Conference is organized in cooperation with the Turkish History Association and aims at bringing to the light the recent publication and website of the latest EUROCLIO/Matra Project ‘A Key to Europe: Innovative Methodology for Turkish School History’ as a central theme of the conference. The conference is expected to foster deeper understanding in Turkish education system and history teaching, wider knowledge on the terms of ‘identity’ and ‘multiculturalism’ in respect to Turkish and European Union relationship, establishing innovative approaches in history education in terms of multi-perspectivity, consolidated national and international cooperation and networking among the educators from Turkey, Europe and wide Islam world etc.

The conference is expected to recruit around 200 professional experts and peers in the field of history, citizenship and social education. Note that EUROCLIO grants the participants an opportunity to meet experts such as high-profile Historian Prof. Erik-Jan Zurcher (Leiden University), Prof. Dr. Reiss Wolfram (Chair for the Study of Religions, Protestant Faculty of Theology, University of Vienna) etc and peers from all over the world. Besides to that, the on-site learning opportunity to discover the cultural spots of early Byzantine time such as Myra, Kalekoy, Aspendos and Perge in the Mediterranean cost of Turkey will be a very inspiring part of the programme.
