HERE WE ARE AGAIN
The Joint History Project for all countries of Southeast Europe enters a new phase
Based on the seminal work of hundreds of historians and teachers from southeast Europe from 1998 to 2016 in producing workbooks in eleven languages which span from the Ottoman Empire to the Cold War and the Transition in Europe, this follow-up will seek to engage young and new audiences in the digital sphere.
JHP 2.0 will also continue to mobilise the knowledge and creativity of historians and teachers, artists and journalists, and anyone else who wants to promote a democratic political culture in southeast Europe. The plan is to produce social media posts, videos, comix, articles, academic studies and a range of other content to stimulate curiosity, empathy and critical thinking about history. You can follow the first materials from today when our first media campaign LEARN AND INSPIRATE launches today: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61568313746355 and https://www.instagram.com/joint.history.project/
A scientific conference on the concept of borders in southeast Europe is scheduled for spring 2025. The central theme of this meeting will be whether the region has emancipated itself from the drive towards demarcation and particularism.
Prof. Christina Koulouri from Athens continues to head the JHP scientific work. Ditmir Bushati, former Foreign Minister of Albania, chairs the “Friends of JHP 2.0”, a group of academics, diplomats and civil society activists in southeast Europe who believe that this project should reach as many people as possible, especially the young generation. Zvezdana Kovač from Montenegro leads the JHP 2.0 team. For more information, please contact [email protected].
The European Fund for the Balkans is implementing the project with the kind support of the German Federal Foreign Office
