JHP Athens Conference

Dvodnevna konferencija o nastavi istorije

ATINA, 4. aprila 2002. (Beta) - Dvodnevna konferencija o nastavi istorije u zemljama Balkana počinje sutra u Atini, u organizaciji medjunarodnog Centra za demokratiju i pomirenje u Jugoistočnoj Evropi (CDRSEE) čije je sedište u Solunu.

Prema rezultatima istraživanja u kojem je učestvovalo 200 stručnjaka sa Balkana, utvrdjeno je da nastava istorije od osnovne škole do univerziteta na Balkanu "jača sterepotipe i iskrivljene stavove" i učenicima daje selektivne informacije.

U pozivu za konferenciju u Atini, tokom koje će biti razmotren način da se zaključci i preporuke stručnjaka primene u nastavi, piše da je cilj CDRSEE "ohrabrivanje kritičkog razmišljanja učenika" i "podizanje svesti u ministarstvima obrazovanja" zemalja Balkana o važnosti promene nastave.

Dugoročni cilj je "revizija etnocentrične školske istorije tako što bi se izbegli stereotipi i predložili alternativni metodi nastave kontroverznih istorijskih dogadjaja i perioda" čime bi nastava istorije, "privržena traganju za istinom, mogla poslužiti kao čvrsta osnova za demokratiju, pomirenje i toleranciju u Jugoistočnoj Evropi".

Prvu sutrašnju sednicu pozdraviće ministar obrazovanja Grčke Petros Eftimiu i pomoćnik šefa britanske diplomatije zadužen za Balkan Denis Mek Šejn (Mc Shane), a medju govornicima je i Dubravka Stojanović sa Univerziteta u Beogradu.

Veći deo konferencije proteći će u radu 11 radnih grupa za specifične aspekte nastave istorije, a njihovi zaključci biće rezimirani na kraju skupa.

CDRSEE je neprofitna, nevladina organizacija, osnovana 1998. u Holandiji, a njenim Upravnim odborom predsedava ambasador SAD Ričard Šifter (Rićard Sćifter), pokretač Inicijative za saradnju u Jugoistočnoj Evrpi (SECI).

Jedanaest zemalja uključenih u Zajednički projekat istorije (Joint History Project - JHP) su Albanija, BiH, Bugarska, Grčka, Hrvatska, Kipar, Makedonija, Rumunija, Slovenija, SRJ I Turska.
