CLIOH&CLIOHnet&CLIOH's Workshop II November 2002

As always, CLIOH&CLIOHnet&Clioh's Workshop II partners are involved in a variety of coordinated, related but independent initiatives and projects. Sometimes 'outsiders', onlookers and other interested parties are confused by the many constellations and galaxies in the CLIOHsphere. Hardly surprising!

Full information on each project and activity can be found on this site. To faciltate understanding how the projects are related we present here a schematic overview.

1. The CLIOH Group ("Refounding Europe: Creating Links and Overviews for a New History Agenda") consists of 38 Institutions, engaged in creating teaching materials, models and modules, to provide resources for the partner institutions themselves and for others who are interested for teaching/learning about History in today's Europe. Specifically these materials are CORE and COMPASS modules, respectively for general History courses and for the preparation of outgoing Socrates students -- from whatever course of study -- including 'virtual' mobility students. These activities are carried out thank to support as an Erasmus PROG, now entering its 3rd year. A CLIOH-DISS proposal for 2003-4 has just been presented; it includes 47 partners and aims to disseminate the materials and insights developed.

2. CLIOHnet ("Creating Links and Innovative Overviews to Enhance Historical Perspective in European Culture") is an Erasmus Thematic Network composed of 58 partners including all CLIOH partners, engaged in a variety of activities all of which aim at increasing the presence of a critical comparative historical perspective in European culture, not only academic culture. CLIOHnet holds two plenary meetings and 10 National Meetings in 10 countries each year; it collaborates with other projects such as Tuning, Tuning II and TEEP 2002. It also holds special conferences (e.g. planned in Debrecen and Cluj-Napoca, in September 2003, on "Tolerance and Intolerance in Historical Perspective").

3. Clioh's Workshop II ("Innovative Books and Multimedial Materials for Comparing and Connecting the Histories of European Peoples") produces books and other materials (videos and CDs) for use within the Network and dissemination to the general public.

4. Intensive Programmes: CLIOH&CLIOHnet&Clioh's Workshop II partners organise Socrates Intensive Programmes for their teachers and their students whenever possible. IPs give the opportunity developing new insights and resources by working together in a real teaching/learning situation. An IP on "Religion and Political Change: Past and Future" will be held in Riga in May 2003, and two more (on Citizenship [Madrid] and Federalism [Sofia] projects have been presented.
