Conference at Zollverein
How to talk about something that's gone and can't be seen anymore? Is a medieval king the same as we know from texts today? What do terms and names from historical sources tell us about the thinking of that time? These questions will be discussed by history didacticians from 24 to 26 September at a conference organised by the UDE at Zeche Zollverein.

"The past has passed and can only be brought back to life through language. For pupils this is associated with many problems", says the historian Professor Dr. Markus Bernhardt of the UDE. "They must understand and translate the language of the sources from the past. But certain values, norms, perspectives and cultural interpretations are also linked to it." So many languages come together in history lessons: Student language, language of origin, educational language, colloquial language and technical language. The handling of multilingualism is therefore an important, in times of populism even explosive topic at school. Language-conscious teaching therefore means more than just learning techniques for text translation. Because culturally influenced interpretations are linked to vocabulary.

The theme of the 23rd Biennial Conference on History Didactics will therefore be "Languages of History Teaching - Linguistic Diversity and Historical Learning". It will be organised by Professor Bernhardt and his team. Around 250 participants are expected.

The conference programme will include a panel discussion with the author Zafer Şenocak on the question of how history teaching should behave in the context of cultural diversity and increasing populism. In various events, different aspects of language will then be discussed in class and in research and teaching. These range from the training of teachers and the design of tasks and textbooks to performance measurement.

The conference will take place in cooperation with the Ruhr Museum, the Federal Agency for Civic Education, the Körber Foundation and Ruhrfutur. Registrations can be made online until 18 September.
