Transition Dialogue 2019-2022. Dealing with change in democratic ways

About the project

Basic information

Project description

The project deals with the question of how the transition from communism to democracy and the market economy is taught in schools and in the informal education sector. The project also investigates how the resources used by teachers/educators can be enriched and more diverse. Seven partners from Central and Eastern Europe – Latvia, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria, Croatia and Poland – participate in the project, which is financed by the German Federal Agency for Civic Education (Bundeszentrale fuer politische Bildung, bpb), and coordinated by two non-governmental organizations, Deutsch- Russischer Austausch DRA e.V., and Sofia Platform Foundation. More information is available at fb.com/transitiondialogue or translation-dialogue.org. Under the title “Transition Dialogue”, an exchange of opinions between experts from academic and non-governmental organizations dealing with civic education in Germany and Central and Eastern Europe was launched already in 2014. Members of Pilar’s team: Caroline Hornstein Tomić, Ivan Hrstić, Drago Čengić, Velimir Šonje (Archival Analytics), Vedrana Pribičević (ZŠEM), Vedran Ristić (III. Gymnasium, Osijek), Maja Kurilić (Knowledge in Action Foundation)
