EuroClio - European Association of History Educators

What EuroClio - European Association of History Educators does

EuroClio - European Association of History Educators is a Dutch-registered non-profit NGO founded in 1992 at the request of the Council of Europe, headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands, with 44 employees and a member-driven governance structure (democratically elected Board and General Assembly). It operates as a pan-European network of history educators, serving national history teachers associations as Full Members, related organizations as Associated Members, and individual history teachers as Individual Members, while running capacity-building projects in 45+ countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and North America.

The organization's core product is Historiana, an online digital learning platform that functions as a multi-perspective history textbook with learning activities, source materials, and teaching resources developed by and for practicing teachers. This platform is complemented by a portfolio of thematic projects (Contested Histories, DEColonizing CUrriculums in Secondary Schools, Learning to Disagree, SENSEI, Monument(al) Challenges, Critical History Tours, Online Teaching in the Visegrad Region) and structured professional development offerings including annual conferences, webinars, the EuroClio Traineeship Programme, and the European Solidarity Corps volunteering scheme. EuroClio also operates the Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation (IHJR) as a related initiative.

Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring membership fees (annual billing for Full, Associated, and Individual tiers), EU project grants (primarily the CERV - Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme), donations, and professional development services. Pricing for individual memberships is not publicly disclosed. Distribution combines self-serve access to Historiana, direct engagement through events and traineeships, regional EuroClio Hubs, and consultancies with the Council of Europe, UNESCO, and OSCE. Partnerships extend to Europeana, the University of Gothenburg and Glasgow (V-Dem/DEMED), VPRO, Anne Frank House, and Mémorial de la Shoah.

Others

• Europeana Foundation: European digital cultural-heritage platform partnering with EuroClio on the Common European Data Space for Cultural Heritage. Comparable as a Europe-wide digital resource provider serving educators, though broader in scope across cultural heritage.

Direct peers

• Mémorial de la Shoah: Paris-based Holocaust memorial and history-education institution coordinating teacher training programs across 26 countries in partnership with EuroClio. Comparable in mission, audience (history teachers), and transnational capacity-building model.
• Anne Frank House: Amsterdam-based non-profit operating educational programs on the Holocaust, remembrance, and democratic values, and an active EuroClio partner. Directly comparable as a European history-education non-profit producing teacher resources and cross-border programming.
• Facing History and Ourselves: International non-profit providing professional development and classroom resources on history, ethics, and civic education for secondary teachers. Closely comparable in mission (multiperspective history and citizenship education), audience (history educators), and delivery model (digital resources plus PD events).
• Georg Eckert Institute (GEI): German-based Leibniz Institute for international textbook research focused on history and social studies education, including textbook analysis and curriculum research. Comparable as a European research-and-practice institution supporting history educators and curricular content.
• Education for the 21st Century: Croatian NGO directed by EuroClio Board Member Lidija Županić Šuica, authoring textbooks and delivering teacher training in history and civic education. Comparable as a regional non-profit producing history-education content and teacher training in the same pedagogical tradition as EuroClio.

Emerging players

• International Society for History Didactics (ISHD): International scholarly association for history education research, organizing conferences and publishing on history didactics. Comparable audience (history education researchers and practitioners) but more academic-research focused, with less emphasis on classroom-ready digital resources.
• European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI): Pan-European educational research association supporting research on learning and instruction across disciplines. Comparable as a Europe-wide education community with conferences and member-driven governance, but broader in disciplinary scope than EuroClio.

Regional players

• National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS): U.S.-based non-profit association for social studies educators, publishing curriculum standards and running annual conferences. Comparable in mission and member-driven association model, but geographically focused on the United States.

Broad incumbents

• Council of Europe - Education Department: Intergovernmental body coordinating education policy across 46 member states, including history and citizenship education programmes. EuroClio's co-founder and ongoing strategic partner; comparable in thematic focus but at a much larger policy-making scale.
