Interculturalism in historical education
|
The conference adressed the question of how to use knowledge and reflection about
the past to build attitudes of openness in today's globalizing world and harness the potential
of diversity on the local level.
It was presented and discussed methods of intercultural learning, civic education and education on human rights,
with a focus on how to use education to prevent and combat discrimination, anti-Semitism, racism and hate speech.
The conference counted with the participation of scholars conducting research on interculturalism
and intercultural education, as well as practitioners - museum professionals, representatives of non-governmental
organizations and cultural institutions, educators, teachers, those conducting projects in
the field of multi- and interculturalism, as well as all those interested in the subject.
The conference program comprised lectures, panel discussions, films and workshops.
The lectures and panel discussions were conducted by invited experts from Poland and abroad.

to an open call.
