The Greek Revolution, Education and Collective Memory. Transformations of school and public history
The Lambrakis Foundation in collaboration with Panteion University and the Association for History Education in Greece, organizes an international online conference on "The Greek Revolution, Education and Collective Memory. Transformations of school and public history" on 18-19 February 2021, under the Bicentennial Initiative 1821-2021.
The conference, among other topics, will deal with the schools, teachers and teaching methods used during the Greek Revolution, as well as the teaching of the Greek Revolution as a subject in the Greek school.
The aim of the Conference is threefold: (a) to explore the pre-revolutionary forms of education as well as the establishment of the first educational institutions during the Greek Revolution and the Kapodistrian period; (b) to monitor the ways in which the Greek Revolution was taught in Greek school (primary and secondary education) from 1834 until the present today and (c) to explore the various forms that the memory of the Greek Revolution took in public history.
