History competition II

Within the framework of the project "History competitions in Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine" (2019/20)

The main focus of the project is to stimulate the study of history through research and project activities, the study of family history and its connection with the processes and phenomena that take place in local communities and in countries. 

Participating in research activities in their community or family, posing their own well-considered research questions, searching for materials and information relevant to the topic, obtaining a more critical understanding and interpretation allow participants to expand their knowledge of history, gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between the "big" history and the history of the family and their environment, and help them acquire useful skills in self-organization, search, structuring, presentation of information, and critical attitude to it.

In Belarus, the project is implemented by the Representative Office of the German Adult Education Association in the Republic of Belarus in cooperation with Youth public association "Historyka" with the support of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The main participants / target groups of the project are:
