The International Symposium on History Education (ISHE) is a prestigious academic event that was established in 2010 with the aim of fostering collaboration and dialogue among scholars, educators, and students who are actively engaged in the multifaceted fields of history education, the history of education, and historiography. By bringing together a diverse group of participants, ISHE seeks to create a vibrant platform for the exchange of ideas, research findings, and innovative teaching practices that can enhance the understanding and appreciation of history in educational contexts.
Each year, the symposium is hosted in different cities across Turkey, reflecting the country's rich historical and cultural heritage while also providing a unique backdrop for scholarly discussions. The choice of location not only highlights Turkey's significance in the study of history but also allows participants to engage with local historical narratives and educational practices. The symposium's objective is to disseminate contemporary developments and discussions within these disciplines to a wide range of audiences, including educators, policymakers, and the general public, thereby promoting a deeper understanding of history and its relevance in today's world.
