The USC Shoah Foundation Non-Residential Fellowship is a specialized program designed to provide scholars\u2014including PhD candidates, faculty, and independent researchers\u2014with remote access to the Visual History Archive (VHA)<\/a>, which contains over 59,000 video testimonies from survivors and witnesses of the Holocaust and other genocides. The fellowship specifically targets researchers whose home institutions do not have a subscription to the archive, offering them full, year-long access to these primary sources to support their dissertations, books, or educational projects. Beyond access, fellows receive need-based research support from Institute staff and are expected to contribute to the field by integrating survivor voices into their scholarly work. This program is ideal for researchers in fields like history didactics and sociology who require flexible, remote access to conduct deep, testimony-based analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The research library at the Georg Eckert Institute<\/a> represents a unique tool for international textbook research. To fulfil its important role, the Institute relies on permanent and close academic contact with domestic and foreign researchers and practitioners. To promote the exchange of ideas internationally and further develop international textbook research \u2014 emphasising comparative approaches \u2014 the Institute has developed a fellowship programme with the support of the Association of Friends of the Georg Eckert Institute. Hajdarovi\u0107 was awarded with the fellowship for the research \u201cTeaching History in the Age of Algorithms: The Uncharted Territory of AI-Infused Pedagogy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HISTOLAB seeks to reinvigorate the field of history education by bringing together innovative ideas and projects about how to improve the teaching of history with a view to strengthening democratic culture in Europe and beyond. Joint Project \u201cTransnational History Education and Co-operation Laboratory \u2013 HISTOLAB<\/a>\u201d was created between the European Commission and the Council of Europe. In accordance with the overall aim of HISTOLAB and in line with the values and standards of the Council of Europe, the HISTOLAB Fellowship<\/a> will co-fund the research and the writing of an academic article related to innovation in history education. Miljenko Hajdarovic was awarded with the fellowship for the research \u201cExploring potential digital technologies for history education\u201d.

This initiative, comprising historians and educators from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia, has been developing a responsible approach to teaching and learning about recent conflicts for over 16 years. By creating an online database of free resources and offering teacher training, the project addresses sensitive and controversial topics within a neutral and pluralistic framework. The award, presented every two years by the Global Centre for Pluralism, recognizes exceptional individuals and organizations that contribute to building more inclusive societies and protecting human diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 2009, the BELMA Awards<\/a> have been presented by the European Educational Publishers Group (EEPG) with support from the International Association for Research on Textbooks and Educational Media (IARTEM) and the Frankfurt Book Fair. The awards are given in four categories\u2014from kindergarten\/preschool to the completion of secondary education. Textbooks are reviewed by a three-member expert jury based on a set of eight quality principles: relevance, transparency, reliability, appeal, flexibility, generativity, participation, and socialization. These principles are broad concepts developed by integrating widely used quality concepts with current learning and teaching theories. Each principle is divided into several sub-principles, representing different dimensions. The history textbook Vremeplov 7<\/em>, by Miljenko Hajdarovi\u0107, Igor Despot and Gordana Frol, won a silver plaque. Hajdarovi\u0107 was also the editor of the textbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAuschwitz: The Past is Present<\/a>\u201d was an educational initiative by USC Shoah Foundation and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum for the 70th anniversary of Auschwitz\u2019s liberation. The program included a four-day workshop in Poland for 25 teachers from 11 countries, featuring historical site visits, survivor testimonies, and training on IWitness, USC\u2019s platform with Holocaust survivor videos. This effort aimed to reinforce Holocaust education and the relevance of Auschwitz\u2019s legacy today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most important German and European awards for exemplary ICT-based educational media were awarded in Berlin on June 22, 2012.
