MAKING HISTORIES

A project to promote an interdisciplinary and dialogical conception of the production of knowledge on historical culture and education, in a growing context of globalisation.
The central aim of this project, led by our group, is the creation of an international and interdisciplinary network of institutions to produce new knowledge in order to enhance the role of historical representations in today’s democratic and reflective societies.
A total of 18 institutions from Europe, Australia, Canada, Israel and Latin America will participate in MAKINGHISTORIES. Special attention will be paid to the presence of gender and the importance of the challenges of globalisation. This project will produce research articles, books, and a digital professional development course, generating a dialogical vision in history teaching.
The project is funded with 540000 euros and is coordinated by M. Carretero.

How can dialogical history teaching be promoted in formal and informal contexts?
