Based in Croatia, I have spent nearly two decades working with teachers, students, and adult learners, connecting history with civic education, media literacy, and ethical reflection. As a doctoral candidate in education sciences and an experienced trainer, I design and deliver professional development programs, online courses, and EU-funded projects focused on history teaching, Holocaust education, and the responsible use of artificial intelligence in education. My work is driven by the belief that history education should empower learners to think critically, confront difficult pasts, and actively contribute to a more democratic and humane society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:35%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-73b0033c wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1316\" src=\"https:\/\/hajdarovic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/18422954_1394277303973805_5927478382730380683_o.jpg\" alt=\"Miljenko Hajdarovi\u0107\" class=\"wp-image-17\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/4;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hajdarovic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/18422954_1394277303973805_5927478382730380683_o.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/hajdarovic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/18422954_1394277303973805_5927478382730380683_o-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hajdarovic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/18422954_1394277303973805_5927478382730380683_o-1024x936.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hajdarovic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/18422954_1394277303973805_5927478382730380683_o-768x702.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-x-large-font-size\" style=\"line-height:1.2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Miljenko-Hajdarovic\">ResearchGate<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mhajdarovic\/\">LinkedIn<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=N9iJURkAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">Scholar<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>From 2005 to 2018 and again from 2022, I taught History, Sociology, Politics, and Civics at primary and secondary schools.
