Connecting the Past To Present and To Future

HEIRNET is a friendly, diverse, inclusive and supportive association that brings together colleagues from around the world interested in History Education's cultural, educational, ideological, moral, social, political, religious and citizenship roles.

Amsterdam is the perfect venue for the live and online HEIRNET 2022 conference. Since the 16th century cosmopolitan  Amsterdam has been at the heart of Europe’s cultural and economic transformation  that still permeates our sense of identity and helps shape our future as reflected in the conference theme: Connecting the Past To Present To Future.

HEIRNET 2022 will address History Education scholarship, research, policy and practice in relation to:

• Covid-19, Climate Change / Global Warming and International Warfare in Europe and the Middle East 
• Other aspects of History Education included in the conference’s comprehensive 6 Areas, 23 Themes and over 300 Topics. The areas are:

1. Public History & Citizenship
2. Historical Culture and Identity
3. Thinking Historically, Historical Knowledge & Learning
4. Pedagogy / Didactics – Teaching, Learning and Assessment
5. Teacher Training and Professional Development
6. Researching History Education
