About the Organisation

The Danish History Teachers’ Association was founded in 1927 for teachers in the secondary schools. The association has over 1,500 members, publishes a quarterly periodical Noter (Notes), arranges teacher training courses and has a close contact to the Ministry of Education.

About the Competition

The first Danish history competition “Historiekonkurrencen” was launched in 2005. The participants are free in their choice of the media: written paper, CD, Video or DVD. The main criteria for the assessment is the question if the competition entry is telling a convincing history.
