About Us

Held regularly since 2010, the International Symposium on History Education is a prestigious platform that promotes the production of academic knowledge in the field of history education, strengthens interdisciplinary interaction, and supports scientific collaborations at the international level. The symposium aims to examine the theoretical foundations, pedagogical approaches, and practical applications of history education from a multidimensional perspective. History education is not merely the transmission of the past; it is also a dynamic process that contributes to the development of individuals’ critical thinking, historical empathy, and multi-perspective analytical skills. In this context, the symposium provides a significant platform for the development of methods and techniques used in history education, the evaluation of curriculum initiatives, and the discussion of the transformation of history education in today’s world.

​

The International Symposium on History Education places special emphasis not only on history education but also on the history of education and the field of historiography. From the perspective of the history of education, the symposium examines the evolution of educational institutions, policies, and systems of thought from the past to the present; within the context of historiography, it explores the methodology of historical writing, the use of sources, and historical approaches. In this way, the symposium contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the field by bridging the gap between history education and historiography. Held annually in a different city, the symposium brings together academics, researchers, teachers, and graduate students to encourage knowledge sharing and academic discussion. The papers presented stand out as original studies contributing to the field’s literature and generate significant outcomes that shape the development of history education.

​

The International Symposium on History Education has adopted as its core mission the enhancement of the quality of the field of history and history education, as well as the sustainability of the scientific body of knowledge in this field, through an approach that fosters an understanding of the past and links it to the construction of the future.
