See a document on teaching regional history, initiated by The Euroclio, in the Council of Europe’s Congress of Local and Regional Authorities. 50th SESSION. Report: CPR(2026)50-01prov. 4 March 2026. Title: Squeezed out? Bringing regional history teaching to the fore. Peter Drenth as a Repporteur.
Prof. Angelos Palikidis: “Worth to say that it is the first official document of the Council of Europe, approved by all member states and stakeholders, that highlights the value of regional history in educating young people to develop historical competences and become democratic citizens and active members in contemporary diverse societies. My wish is to make as much as possible use of it in your countries by encouraging teachers to develop regional history projects and by pressuring local and regional authorities to support such initiatives, as well as to shape the ground for transregional – transnational cooperation. Special thanks to Steven Stegers and EUROCLIO. Without their support in Bratislava, probably this effort wouldn’t be successfully completed.”
