History – PRAXIS

Lecturer: Dr Bozena Cierlik
Department: School of History.

Case study:

Promoting democratic competences and integration of GCDE into teaching as case study in School of History Module HI2048 – 1989 Autumn of Nation. Transition to democracy in Poland and East Central Europe.

The aim of my case study was to enhance module HI2048 already offered to students of History, Politics and European Studies, by positioning it within Global Citizenship and Development Education methodology. Pedagogy is based on the concept of integration of GCDE into teaching and promoting democratic competences through Service Learning.

I had the privilege to present this case study at the conference “Living Knowledge 2022”, University of Groningen, 28 June – 01 July 2022.
