Previous workshops
Memories of Europe
It was an extraordinary opportunity for our international group of students - who had not yet met before apart from online cooperation - to work together with you and your curators and educational experts during three highly intensive and inspiring days
At the House of European History, we pride ourselves on fostering international cooperation in education and research and enriching both academic and public discourse. One such initiative was our participation in the "Memories of Europe" project. Led by the University of Teacher Education Lucerne, Switzerland, and financed by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation (SERI), this project included partners from Lucerne, Paris, Cologne, Berlin, Nijmegen, and Warsaw .
The project, positioned at the intersection of public history and memory studies, offered a unique blended learning MA-seminar for students from six universities.
The seminar focused on analysing the construction, usage, and transformation of European memory practices and narratives across various public spheres, including museums, monuments, literature, film, architecture, media, and politics. It paid special attention to European myths, imagined spaces, transnational entanglements, borders, and the construction of ‘external others,’ with a particular focus on Europe’s colonial past.
The House of European History hosted both an on-site and digital workshop. The project also aimed to create a network for internships and foster collaboration among students in various projects and publications.

Case studies
Great and unique possibility to have these discussions in the museum in the European capital...You really analyse, work with materials and learn how to apply these critical theoretical concepts and translate them to direct reflections on what is actually happening in the field.
Together with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) the House of European History takes part as a museum for students in the course ‘Museum Didactics’. Students have the opportunity to work around a real case study in the museum, do academic research and field studies and conclude by presenting their research in a report. They are supervised by the university and work together with some of the museum educators.
