European Association of History Educators: The European Experience: Living with Difference
This source collection is part of the Teaching European History in the 21st Century handbook and can be used to teach about diversity and approaches to diversity in European History.
Religious, social, cultural, and political diversity is a fact of life in Europe. This Source Collection explores the ways in which people in Europe have dealt with these differences, from the historical development of religious communities to rivalling ideological schools. The differences between the continent’s urban centers and its peripheries and their cultural, social, and economic consequences are investigated, as are the intergenerational differences between parents and children, the young and the old. You can use the sources in this collection to reflect with your students on diversity, discrimination, and pluralism in European history and today. To view these sources in the context of the handbook "The European Experience. A Multi-Perspective History of Modern Europe, 1500-2000" [https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0323], please refer to the narratives on "Religions", "Ideology", "Centres and Peripheries", and "Generations and Lifecycles" in the Historical Content section of Historiana. This Source Collection has been developed by Mats Kooge and Georgi Pavlov as part of the project "Teaching European History in the 21st Century", which is founded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
