Covid-19, disastrous series of earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria... How well
prepared are young people to understand such catastrophic events and their
impact upon societies? Since the beginning of recorded human history,
pandemics and natural disasters have highly impacted the historical narratives
of mankind. Each time, they remind humans how fragile they are and how limited
their knowledge is. Despite their impact, these events are given little
attention in history education. The first thematic report of the Observatory
on History Teaching in Europe (OHTE) analyses how pandemics and natural
disasters are taught across different levels of education. It gives a detailed
overview of the teaching of the two topics in OHTE’s 16 member states, along
with a cross country analysis – combining information provided by educational
authorities and by history teachers themselves. The report refers to important
areas of concern such as the inclusion of pandemics and natural disasters in
history curricula, teachers’ pedagogical decisions about their teaching,
multiperspectival approaches but also the use of scapegoating during these
times of crises. The observatory’s mission is to provide a clear picture of
the state of history teaching in Europe. Within the countries that are party
to the observatory, this is done through OHTE reports on the state of history
teaching and thematic reports, which explore particular areas of interest and
how they are handled in history lessons. The observatory’s vision is embodied
by its motto: “Teaching history, grounding democracy”. In practice, this means
that it promotes quality history education in order to improve the
understanding of democratic culture among young people. The Observatory on
History Teaching in Europe is a Council of Europe enlarged partial agreement.
