– The aim of the symposium, which connects school museums and
researchers into the history of education, is to present and explore
the professional historical contribution of male and women teachers
and particularly their associations to the development of schools and
pedagogy, as well as to cultural and general development. Teacher
associations united the teaching profession in the establishment of
their (trade union) interests, had a significant influence on the
development of teacher education (including their adult and continuing
education) and, through teaching and educational publications of
different ideological orientations, helped to shape the development of
education. Teachers’ gatherings, publishing activities and the
appearance of school museums were among the most important forms of
activity.

– Teacher associations and their regional, national (ethnic), state
and international connections went beyond the local importance of
frequently very diverse activities. They were marked in particular by
individual teachers who were important for a particular village, town
or wider region. Through changes that took place over time, we can
also discern the differing importance attributed to the teaching
profession, which is why we also encourage comparative analyses of the
role of teachers and their associations. Contributions offering an
overview of a wider region or even a whole country are particularly
welcome, as are presentations and analyses of archive and museum
material and, above all, insights into our museums through an analysis
of exhibitions on this subject.

– The theme of teachers, teacher associations and their work and other
connections in education is directed at specialists working in museums
both large and small and in other collections related to school and
education, as well as at researchers and lecturers who are involved in
the history of education at universities, institutes and in archives.

-The presentation of museological news of the family of education /
school museums and successful museum projects regards to the history
of education are welcome.

– The working language of the conference is English. Paper
presentations should last between 15-20 minutes, including 3-5 minutes
discussions after presentation atplenary sessions and 90-minute
parallel sections.

– The “Babel Section”: Only one 90-minute session of the parallel
sections (each with a maximum of 4 to 5 presentations) will take place
in three groups for participants from the Germanic, Romance and Slavic
language areas in one of these languages.

Please note that the ‘Babel Section’ is designed first of all for the
colleagues who work at small school museums without earlier
experiences with English, the lingua franca of the modern era.
