The International Symposium on History Education (ISHE) represents a distinguished academic gathering designed to foster collaboration and dialogue among scholars, educators, and students involved in the diverse domains of history education, the history of education, and historiography. Since its inception in 2010, ISHE has operated independently from any corporate or organizational affiliations, functioning on a non-profit basis through the voluntary efforts of academics from various Turkish universities, alongside the generous support of local sponsors.

​

By uniting a wide array of participants, ISHE seeks to establish a dynamic forum for the exchange of ideas, research outcomes, and innovative pedagogical approaches that can enrich the comprehension and appreciation of history within both written and educational frameworks. Conducted annually in various cities throughout Turkey, the symposium not only highlights the nation's extensive historical and cultural legacy but also provides a distinctive setting for scholarly discourse. The selection of venues underscores Turkey's significance in historical studies and enables participants to engage with local historical narratives and educational methodologies. The symposium's objective is to disseminate contemporary developments and discussions within these fields to a broad audience, including educators, policymakers, and the general public, thereby fostering a deeper understanding of history and its significance in the contemporary world.

​

ISHE's programs offer participants a wealth of experiences and collaborative opportunities through keynote addresses, panels addressing pressing issues in history education, the history of education, and historiography, as well as workshops for educators, parallel sessions, and exhibitions. The symposium aspires to enhance the advancement of history education and historiography studies on a global scale by facilitating discussions on a variety of topics, inspiring new research endeavors, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, and sharing exemplary practices.
