Workshop „Minorities in the Educational Systems in South Eastern Europe“
23-26 May, 2002, Braunschweig/Germany


Announcement

Within the framework of a Stability Pact project, the Georg Eckert 
Institute organizes a workshop on the topic „Minorities in History 
Textbooks“, which will take place on 23-26 May, 2002. It is intended for 
historians, history teachers, and (future) history textbook authors from 
Albania, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Former Yugoslav 
Republic of Macedonia, Romania and Yugoslavia (Kosovo, Montenegro, and Serbia).
In plenary and working group sessions, the about 15 participants will work 
on current questions related to the presentation of minorities in the 
textbooks of both the majority and minority groups of the respective 
countries. On the basis of a questionnaire that will be sent beforehand to 
the participants, the state-of-the-art of latest textbook presentations 
will be first assessed and compared at a regional level. Lectures on 
historical and methodological issues given by academic experts will 
accompany working groups, in which the participants will conceptualise and 
discuss ideas and views.
The aim is to
a)      reshape the quantitative balance between the representation of 
minorities and majorities in textbooks;
b)      define crucial topics for interpreting the (historical and present) 
interrelations between majority and minority groups,
c)      develop concepts, how to present in a more adequate manner 
multiethnic, multinational, multireligious (etc.) societies and their 
histories in textbooks.

The Georg Eckert Institute is able to fund the expenses of about 15 
participants from South-East Europe. Further applicants are asked to bear 
their travel and accommodation expenses or to apply for financial support 
with other institutions.

Applications are to be sent by 30.04.2002 to:
