“Comparing history education systems has a long tradition in Europe dating back to the 19th century. After the First World War, the International Committee on Intellectual Co-Operation (predecessor of UNESCO) initiated collaboration and research in the context of history education. During the storms of the 20th century, UNESCO, the Council of Europe, and the well-known research centre, the Georg Eckert Institute, also participated in this effort. The need for comparative research still characterises the European context of history didactics with groups of researchers (Erdmann & Hasberg, 2011) and international multilateral cooperations (OHTE, 2023) continuing the traditions. […] Compass to History and Civic Education is the result of an academic research project launched by the Learning Institute of Mathias Corvinus Collegium, Hungary. It highlights the position of history and civic education in several European, Atlantic, and Asian countries, focusing on the similarities and differences between national and regional approaches to history and civic education.”
