EUROCLIO is pleased to announce that the Second Seminar within the EUROCLIO Initiative “Historiana.eu” has been approved by the European Union and is registered in the European Union´s Comenius and Grundtvig Catalogue under the course reference number: NL-2011-220-001! The event will take place on January 20-23 2011 in Istanbul, Turkey. Historiana is an initiative of EUROCLIO, the European Association of History Educators in which an online, interactive, multimedia tool will be developed as an alternative to a European textbook.

Since January 2010, a team of editors and contributors from more than 15 countries are working together to develop the first materials focused on the theme “People on the Move” which will be online during the Seminar.

The material will be focused on common themes in European History and Heritage:

• People on the Move
• Rights and Responsibilities
• Life and Leisure
• Work and Technology
• Conflict and Cooperation
• Ideas and Ideologies

Colleagues from countries participating in the Lifelong Learning Programme can apply for a Comenius/Grundtvig Grant at their National Agency to participate in the course and receive training on the development and implementation of multiperspective and inclusive material on the common theme ‘People on the Move’.
