Hey,
My name is Miljenko Hajdarović [/ˈmiːljɛnko haɪˈdɑːrɔvɪtʃ/ or MEEL-yen-koh HY-dar-oh-vich]. I am a historian, sociologist, and educator committed to critical and inclusive history education and lifelong learning. I live and work in Croatia, where for more than two decades I have collaborated with teachers, students, and adult learners, connecting history with citizenship education, media literacy, and ethical reflection. As a doctoral candidate in educational sciences and an experienced educator, I design and deliver professional development programmes, online courses, and European Union-funded projects, with a particular focus on history education, Holocaust education, and the responsible use of artificial intelligence in education.
My work is guided by the conviction that history education should empower students and adult learners to think critically, engage with difficult pasts, and participate actively in building a more democratic and humane society.
