This project aims to augment and reinforce students’ positive attitudes towards democracy and democratic values across Europe through a cross-border approach to history education, specifically through teaching about the experience of totalitarianism and state socialism in Central and Eastern Europe in an effective and engaging way.

A set of 8 READY-TO-USE TEACHING MODULE KITS and a set of 8 RECORDED LECTURES AND INFORMATION PACKAGES on the topic of the state socialist past in Central and Eastern Europe, undertake a DISSEMINATION & COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGN to train teachers to use the methods, tools, and resources developed (including outreach to relevant stakeholders and policymakers), and set up a NETWORK for history and citizenship educators, which will be launched through the hosting of the first annual AUTUMN SCHOOL.

This project will increase the skills, knowledge, and resources for history teachers to teach about state socialism in Central-Eastern Europe in an effective and engaging way. The project will result in a set of useful teaching resources, provide training for teachers to become confident users of the resources, and create a platform on which teachers can exchange best practices on how best to use history education to reinforce students’ positive attitudes towards democracy and democratic values.
