Belarusian Competition 2013/2014
Belarus is Back with New Competition Topic!
After a six-year break, Belarus offers a history competiton again. “1939 in the Memory of the Inhabitants of Belarus” is the topic that the "Belarusian Oral History Archive ", "Historika” and "Public Association DYJARYUSH" announced recently. The year 2014 marks the 75th anniversary of the consolidation of the ethnic Belarusian lands into the borders of the Byelorussian SSR and its consequences - a hot topic, the organisers say.
We are very happy to welcome Israel as a new member of our EUSTORY Network. After a year-long planning period, the first Israeli History Competition was inaugurated in October 2013. The first competition topic is: "Attitudes toward the Other as Reflected in History".
