2 nd Regional Summer School Montenegro 2016 History that Connects East and West: Learning through Entangled Legacies in History Education and Cultural Heritage Draft programme Lovcen Mountain, Montenegro 12 17 July 2016
What happened since the 2015 Summer School? The 1st Regional History That Connects Summer School 2015 was held in Šipovo, BiH in August 2015 and was a professional development course, enabling transnational exchange of knowledge and experience. Lectures, workshops, discussion groups and study visits stimulated participating history and heritage educators to implement innovative teaching practices in their classroom, museum, site or institute and to work towards a framework for a common approach for dealing with history in the region. During the Summer School the focus was on cultural heritage and on-site learning, with local workshops about local and global history. After the Summer School, the 8 local partner history teacher associations in the region organized local multiplier events in order to share experiences, new insights, knowledge and methods with local educators. In total, 338 people participated in the 12 local multiplier events. In general the events were seen as useful and interesting. Participants found it useful for future networking and for strengthening future regional cooperation. Another outcome of the summer school was a project idea on the Ottoman Legacy in the region and participants from Croatia and Montenegro took it upon themselves to further explore the possibilities of developing the project idea on a regional educational project on the Ottoman Legacy in the region. This will form the basis of a task force that will meet during this year s summer school to plan a project proposal on the shared imperial legacies.

About this summer school It will be a capacity-building event providing transnational transfer of knowledge and experience. We hope that through lectures, workshops, discussion groups and study visits, participating history and heritage educators will be stimulated to implement innovative teaching practices in their classroom and/or museum/site/institute and to work towards a framework for a common approach for dealing with history. Participants will improve their knowledge of cultures and get acquainted with new educational contents, services, and methods. Participants of similar EUROCLIO events have signalled afterwards that they felt inspired and stimulated to share with colleagues and students what they learnt and contribute to follow-up events and online community building. Aims and objectives To compare and contrast perspectives on social and cultural local history and heritage.
