The project "Histories in Motion" has been researching memory practices, historical cultures, and historical learning in Germany’s migration society.

Since it was launched in 2018, the project "Histories in Motion" has been researching memory practices, historical cultures, and historical learning in Germany’s migration society. In a joint project with the University of Hildesheim Foundation, the Free University Berlin, the Georg-Eckert-Institute in Braunschweig and Paderborn University, interviews were carried out with a variety of actors for empirical studies, providing new perspectives on current historical-cultural negotiation processes. Our interview partners represent four different fields of studies: teaching and school-based learning, memorial sites and museums, educational media and publishing and non-formal educational programs (NGOs). Based on this interview material, the following topics are being discussed, among others:
- How does one define a collectively significant history, in the context of a diverse migration society?
- What are the current challenges to historical learning in a diverse society?
- How are issues of diversity, belonging, exclusion, and separation integrated into historical education?

The answers to these questions will be presented during a closing conference on March 1-2, 2021. The presentation will take place within a framework of lectures, panel discussions, and workshops, and will include the opportunity to engage in conversation with invited experts and practice partners about the topics at hand.
